Condition
Overall in very good original condition. When viewed in person, the vase presents with deeply saturated colors to the iridescence and body of the vase, slightly less red than in the catalogue illustration. The glass with a few minor particulate inclusions and small air bubbles which are inherent in the making and not visually distracting. The upper edge of the vase with a small burst air bubble along the rim and the lower portion of the vase with a few small burst air bubbles, partially visible in the catalogue illustration. The surfaces with minor surface soiling consistent with age and gentle handling. A great example of the model.
