Condition
Overall the vase presents well with the exception of a very shallow, narrow flake loss chip to the base rim, approximately 0.25 inches in length. There is a very minor surface bruise toward the top of the vase approximately 0.25 inches wide. There is a small area of scattered very minor surface abrasions to one side above the base approximately 0.5 inches wide. The interior well of the vase has some liquid residue. Despite these minor issues overall in our opinion the vase presents well – it remains a good large scale example of the famous model.
