Acquired from the above by the present owner
Condition
Overall in very good condition. The favrile glass with some occasional scattered pin-head size air bubble inclusions inherent in the making. On the vase interior, there is a suspended inherent air bubble at the midpoint of the body, measuring 1 ½ inches in length which is only visible on close inspection. With light surface soiling to the interior. The form of this vase is exceptionally elegant, displaying beautiful elongated proportions and an elaborately decorated stem and foot. The pulled feather decoration is highly artistic and particularly well-defined and imparts the vase with strong color. The vase shows far greater subtleties to its decoration and color than seen in the catalogue illustration which is slightly over saturated. An outstanding example with stunning decoration and color. -----
