The exterior with a few light surface scratches, and with some gentle rubbing, consistent with age and gentle handling. The interior with traces of light surface soiling. The vase presents with delicate pulled feather decoration in brilliant iridized hues of turquoise, magenta, green and golden tones. body of the vase displays as a semi-transparent brick red color and less red in hue than seen in the catalogue illustration. A strong example of the firm’s decorated glass designs displaying rhythmic and finely rendered decoration.
