Condition
Overall in very original condition. With a few small and minute scattered air bubbles within the textured body and neck inherent in the making. The outermost contours of the vase body with approximately three very minute bruises. The same area with minute areas of darkly colored residue. The underbase a few minor pin prick chips along the edges consistent with age and use. The interior of the vase with some minor surface residue. The coloration of the vase is a brilliant amber hue that presents even more saturated than the catalogue illustration. A very nice example of this iconic design.
