Condition
Overall in very good condition. When viewed in person, the vase has a paler and less red color than it appears in the catalogue illustration. The surface presents with a few minute irregularities and minute burst air bubbles inherent to the making. With a few minor scratches and light surface dirt consistent with age and gentle use. When examined under black light, the vase presents two small areas of restoration, one on the body of the vase at mid-height, measuring approximately 1 inch in diameter and the other along the above rim of the vase. A beautiful vase of graceful design and delicate colors.
