Condition

Overall in very good condition. With some scattered small air bubble and particulate inclusions inherent in the making. The interior with a few applied glass threads and one slightly larger and raised particulate inclusion (1/4 inch in diameter), all inherent in the making. The exterior surfaces with some very fine and light surface scratches. The vase displays highly artistic and vigorous linear decoration with a bold abstract leaf and vine motif. The exterior is intensely iridized, imparting the vase with brilliant luminous jewel-tone hues. When viewed in person, the colors are slightly less saturated and less red than seen in the catalogue illustration. -----
