The Estate of William M. Pomeroy, Pottstown, PA
Brunk Auctions, Asheville, NC, July 14, 2007, lot 295
Eric Streiner, New York
Acquired from the above by the present owner

Overall in very good condition. With some small and minute air bubble and particulate inclusions, and with a few minute open air bubbles, all inherent in the making and not at all visually detracting. The top rim with some very light and fine surface scratches. The interior is beautifully iridized, imparting the vase with strong luminosity and visual depth. The vase interior with some light surface scratches and a small circular loss to the iridescence (approximately 1/2 inch in diameter). A very fine example distinguished by its impressive scale, exquisite carving and rich coloration. The vase displays beautifully in person with strong visual presence and a highly tactile carved surface. The colors are slightly more saturated and deeper than seen in the catalogue illustration.
