Condition
Overall in excellent original condition. The glass presents with a few minor scattered air bubble inclusions inherent in the production of the work. The colors of the vase and iridization throughout are richly saturated and range from purples to vibrant turquoise. The neck portion of the vase is executed with a gently fluting that echoes the decorative scheme. The interior with some very light surface dirt. The underside with a shallow chip adjacent to the pontil mark inherent in the making. A wonderful and rare shape by the firm in very good condition.
