Condition
Overall in very good original condition. When viewed in person, the vase presents with a slightly lighter blue color than in the catalogue illustration. The glass with a few minor air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not visually distracting. The surfaces with a few shallow surface scratches consistent with age and gentle handling. A great scale when viewed first hand.
