Condition
Overall in very good original condition. When viewed in person, the vase presents with tones of rose, green, aubergine and smoked glass, more subtle than seen in the catalogue illustration. The glass with some small air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making. A couple of air bubbles long the neck and a few other scattered throughout, all inherent in the making. The surfaces with a few surface scratches consistent with age and gentle handling. A spectacular vase with great scale when viewed first hand.
