Condition

EN - The colour of the vase is more subdued when not lit and less pink, with a better lilac / yellow contrast than suggested by the catalogue illustration. One cabochon (that illustrated at the top of the vase on the left hand side in the catalogue illustration) with minor loss at 2 o'clock (visible in catalogue illustration). Photographs available on request. The underside with some very light scratching consistent with age. A few air bubbles throughout, the largest approx. 8 mm, and a couple of very small burst air bubble. A particularly pleasing signature with a gilded flower referencing the delicate decoration of the vase.
