Condition
Overall very good condition, with no damage or restoration detected. There are occasional very minor/shallow surface abrasions to the outer rim of the aperture. The polished pontil to the underside has a good clear acid stamp: venini/murano/MADE IN/ITALY
There are 3 areas where there is trapped impurities to the interior of the glass, two dark impurities to the underside and one white impurity to one side. In our opinion these do not adversely affect the overall attractive appearance of the vase and are as a result of the manufacturing process.
