Condition

Overall in very good condition. With some small and minute air bubble and particulate inclusions, and with a few minute open air bubbles on the vase exterior, all inherent in the making and not visually detracting. The lower half of the vase interior appears to have calcifications with some very fine light surface scratches. The exterior with a few very small and minor light surface scratches. A very jewel-like vase displaying exceptional flame decoration and unusual magenta coloration. The exterior is intensely iridized, imparting the vase with strong luminous color and a range of brilliant hues. The vase presents beautifully with far greater visual presence and brilliance to its coloration than seen in the catalogue illustration.
