Condition

Overall in very good original condition. When viewed in person, the vase presents with a bright Liberty blue, slightly darker than in the catalogue illustration. The belly is flat. The glass with a few particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not visually distracting. The surfaces with a few surface scratches consistent with use and gentle handling. A very poetic work.
