Condition
Overall very good original with no damage or restoration detected. There is a small/minor horizontal line of what looks like chalk or paint residue to the top of the neck of the scavo base just below where the clear glass upright connects. The scavo to the base has small intentional open air bubbles in the making which reveal a scarlet/vivid red layer of glass beneath. Several of these are visible in the catalogue photograph. When viewed from the (clear glass) underside there is evidence of some water/liquid residue to the inner base well of the vase, however this is not visible unless the vase is viewed from the underside.
