Condition
Overall condition very good, with no damage or restoration detected. There are occasional very minor, small surface abrasions to the lower section of vase close to where the body curves inward to the base. There are occasional deep abrasions to the underside. The main body remains in excellent condition, with a good strong abstraction to the various panels of internal merletto decoration. Please note that the blue in the printed and online catalogue appears slightly muddy and dull. In reality the blue is richer and more vibrant in tone. Additional photographs of the vase can be provided to demonstrate the color more realistically.
