Condition

Overall in good condition. The perimeter contour of the foot appears to be polished and slightly reduced. With a few minute air bubble and particulate inclusions inherent in the making. The exterior with a few very light and fine surface scratches. Both the exterior of vase and the interior of the decorated collar are beautifully iridized, imparting the vase with strong luminosity and a range of brilliant hues. An unusual example displaying impressive scale, a striking color palette and beautifully controlled linear decoration ranging from turquoise to aqua along the top collar and shoulder. The impressive artistic decoration on this vase is not fully visible in the catalogue illustration due to the low vantage point and is far impactful when viewed in person. Please contact the department for additional photographs.
