Daum

Overall very good original condition. The vase with a few scattered small and minor air bubbles and inclusions inherent in the making. This is a wonderfully unusual vase displaying a varied color combination. The vase presents with minor wear to gilding commensurate with light handling, including the signature which appears to have been originally gilt. The carved foot with more concentrated losses to the gilding. The underbase of the vase with a few small and minor occasional surface scratches commensurate with age and use.
