Condition
Overall in very good original condition. The vase with some scattered small and minor air bubble inclusions inherent in the making. The vase some very shallow scattered surface scratches, and some very light surface soiling to the recessed contours of the molded design. The interior with some light scattered discolorations and with an isolated area of surface dirt, consistent with age and use. With a remnant of a "Made in France" label, possibly original, to the underbase. The vase presents with a deep jewel-tone blue coloration. A nice small scale example with a rhythmic molded pattern.
