Condition
Overall in very good original condition. When viewed in person, the vase presents with a smoked color which is slightly more intense than in the catalogue illustration. The glass with a few air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not visually distracting. A larger air bubble adjacent to the navel and visible in the catalogue illustration. The surface with a few shallow surface scratches consistent with gentle handing. A rare example of a figurative work by Bianconi in great condition.
