Condition
Overall in very good original condition. The colors of the vase are accurately shown in the catalogue illustration. The glass with a few small air bubbles, particulate inclusions and a few concentrated surface irregularities inherent in the design. The glass surfaces with some light surface scratches consistent with age and gentle handling. A pictorial design with extraordinary presence when viewed in person.
