Condition
Overall very good original condition. The vase with a few scattered small and minor air bubbles and inclusions inherent in the making. The gilding shows very minor wear consistent with age and gentle handling. The underbase with a ring of shallow surface scratches consistent with use. The possible retailers label with minor losses to the outer edges, however the majority remains intact. The vase when viewed in person presents with impressive scale and wonderful intricate rendering of the floral motif.
