Condition
Overall in excellent original condition. This offering comprises some extremely rare color and forms made by Sakier. The vases showing some minor imperfections in the glass, such as airbubbles, which are inherent in the making. Each of the vases with some very light surface scratches to the underbases, which once the vases are right are not visible. The tall yellow cylindrical vase with a minor chip to the interior of the top rim. Each of the vases with a few scattered minute surface scratches. Two vases with minor shallow abrasions to the body of the vase consistent with age and use. One vase with some surface residue to the interior from use. This collection is a very rare offering of a large number of works by the artist displaying significant range in colors and forms.
