Condition

Overall very good condition, with the exception of occasional minor abrasions to surfaces and extremities commensurate with age and use. In our opinion these do not adversely affect the overall appearance of the vase. Please note that the color in the published photograph of the work is not accurate. In reality the blue cane stripes are a cooler more vivid shade, not the dull purple/blue depicted.
