Condition
Signature shows some traces of gilding. A couple of very minor chips to the edge of the base and a few air bubbles within the body of the vase, two of which are burst, these can be seen in the catalogue illustration at the centre of the purple cyclamen flower and to the left within the orange internally decorated band. Some streaking, most noticeable in a vertical line to the left of the purple flowerhead - photo available on request. Some minor inclusions and surface scratches to the shoulder of the vase. Hence the vase is an etude which is reflected in the pre-sale estimate.
La signature présente des traces de dorures. Deux très petits éclats aux bords de la base et quelques petites bulles d'air dans le corps du vase, dont deux sont éclatées, comme visible à l'illustration au catalogue au centre du cyclamen violet et à la gauche de la bande orange, dans la décoration interne. Des trainées, davantage visibles dans une bande verticale à la gauche de la fleur violette (photo disponible sur demande). Quelques inclusions mineures et rayures superficielles au niveau de l'épaulement. La condition explique que le vase est une étude, et cela se reflète dans l'estimation.
