Tiffany Studios

Overall in very good condition. With a few minute air bubble inclusions inherent in the making, only visible when examining the vase with a strong light from the interior and not at all visually detracting. The exterior surfaces with a few minor light surface scratches. With some very light surface soiling to the vase interior, most prevalent in the lower region above the base. The exterior and interior of the top decorated collar is beautifully iridized, imparting the collar with strong luminosity and a range of brilliant hues. The interior of the body is cased in white, further heightening the rich saturated coloration of the exterior. A fine example, displaying an exceptionally elegant form, extraordinary rich color and finely articulated decoration to the top collar. When viewed in person, the "Mazarine" blue hue is even deeper and more vibrant than seen in the catalogue illustration. -----
