Condition
Overall very good original condition. The glass throughout with several minute air bubbles and inclusions inherent in the production of the vase. The vase presents with a few very shallow surface scratches concentrated to the outer edge of the base consistent with gentle use. With a few minute imperfections to the rim all inherent in the making. One of the figures with a minute chip to the nose area, which could easily be restored if desired.
The opalescent surfaces display a beautiful range of coloration and the figures are rendered in great sculptural detail.
