Condition
Please note that the catalogue description that states that the vase is signed is incorrect, also there is no bowl included in this lot.
Overall very good condition with no damage or restoration detected. Please note that the color reproduction in the catalogue is not accurate. In reality the blue of the internal decoration is a delicate pale blue, not the muddy purple/blue depicted in the catalogue.
