Condition

Overall in very good original condition. The vase presents with a wonderful iridescent hue that is more heightened when viewed in person than seen in the catalogue illustration. The vase with a few scattered small and minor air bubble inclusions inherent in the making. The vase with some small and minor scattered surface scratches. A nice example showing great texture and rhythm in the repeating swirl of the rams' horns.
