Condition
Overall in very good condition. With a few small and minute air bubbles inclusions inherent in the making. The base with a few very light and fine surface scratches. The vase interior is cased in white. The exterior is beautifully iridized imparting the vase with strong luminosity and a range of brilliant hues. A superb example displaying strong proportion and a beautiful transition in color from deep amber at the top register of the body to lighter amber below. The decoration on the shoulder is exceptionally articulated with finely controlled lines.
