Condition
This vase is a good example with ice decoration around the neck. There are a couple of irregularities to cameo decoration at neck, these look like manufacturing. There is an area of irregularity to the icing, with a possible smoothed chip and there are some minor pinprick chips to edges of icing. The piece is of a more yellow tone than the catalogue illustration suggests.
