Condition
Overall very good condition. The glass with a few tiny air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making. The glass surface of the body of the vase with a few very shallow surface scratches as seen in the catalogue illustration. The stopper is executed in a slightly more transparent glass when compared with the body of the vase and lacks patiné. This appears inherent in the making. The stopper with a minor fleck to the reverse of the figural element measuring ¼ inch in length. And two a few minor flecks at the base of the stopper element, which are not visible once the stopper is properly placed. The vase presents with a wonderful sculptural details that are heightened by an original patiné.
