Condition

The upper part of the vase has been diminished. Some air bubbles throughout and a few scratches to the widest part of the vase, and to the underside of the foot. The foot with a surface irregularity - two parallel indentations just visible to the left of the catalogue illustration, thought to be from where the piece was secured during the manufacturing process. Photographs available on request. Otherwise good condition.
