Condition
Overall condition very good, with no damage or restoration detected. The way that the vase has been photographed, with both back and front lighting, makes the red color of the body difficult to distinguish in certain areas. The red tones to the top and internal areas of the top rim are closer to the true body color. The outer surface of the body has a slightly textured surface iridescence. The interior of the vase also has a subtle iridescence. There is a good clear acid stamp mark to the underside of the vase. Further photographs may be provided on request.
