Condition
Overall in very good original condition. When viewed in person, the vase presents with a slightly less yellow color than in the catalogue illustration, with deep blue and grey. The glass with a few minor air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not visually distracting. The surfaces with a few light surface scratches consistent with age and gentle handling. A deeply dynamic design.
