Condition
Overall condition very good, with the exception of occasional very minor abrasions to surfaces and extremities commensurate with age. The interior of the vase has some minor liquid residue stains, which are slightly more pronounced in the interior of the neck. The color reproduction in the catalogue appears slightly pale/washed out in tone in comparison to the actual vase. The attractive aventurine powders within the body of the vase are also not evident in the catalogue photograph.
