Condition

Overall very good original condition. The vase with a few minor scattered air bubble inclusions inherent in the making. With some very light scattered surface scratching consistent with age and gentle handling. The deep cobalt coloration is heightened by a rhythmic floral pattern molded to the underside of the coupe to achieve a great sense of movement and depth.
