Overall in excellent original condition. When viewed in person, the vase presents with a slightly more purple hue than seen in the catalogue illustration. The pate de verre with minor air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not at all visually distracting. An outstanding example of a highly desirable model.
