Condition

Overall in very good condition. With a few minute air bubble and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not at all visually detracting. The interior bowl with some very light surface soiling. A gorgeous example distinguished by the highly unusual and graceful silhouette of the upper flower bowl and vigorously ruffled rim. The interior of the bowl and underside of the decorated foot are sensitively iridized, imparting the vase with strong luminous color and a rich rose-orange hue on the exterior. The green pulled feather decoration is beautifully rendered, showing the superb control and skill of the gaffer.
