Condition
Overall very good condition. With scattered air bubbles and inclusions throughout, inherent in the making and difficult to see because of the molded decoration of the vase. With some surface dirt in the recessed portions of the molded decoration. The inner lip of the vase with some very small and minor discolored spots, possibly due to exposure to metal or water. The underside of base with evidence of a removed adhesive sticker and with expected minor surface scratches throughout, consistent with age and gentle contact with surfaces. The interior of the vase with very minor surface dust. The coloration of the patiné presents as a slightly darker sepia tone in person than in the catalogue photo. The sepia patiné wonderfully complements the delicate green of the birds in the molded decoration.
