Condition
Overall in very good original condition. With a few small and minute scattered air bubbles inherent in the making. The enamel work is in very good condition with some minor surface irregularities also inherent in the making. The outermost contours of the body with a few shallow surface scratches commensurate with gentle handling and use. The rim with one very minute flea bite. The ground of the vase presents slightly yellow in the catalogue illustration than it appears upon first hand inspection. There is a slight irregularity to translucence of the clear ground, which likely inherent and adds a nuance to the overall appearance of the vase. The under base with some shallow surface scratches consistent with age and gentle handling. A fine example of the model when viewed in person.
