Condition

Overall very good condition. With a few scattered minute air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the material and production technique. The surfaces throughout the vase present with minor surface irregularities inherent in pate de verre glass and production technique. With a few very minor areas where the coloration extends into the adjacent background, which are inherent in the making. A very good example with saturated hues and great detail in the figures.
