Condition
Overall in very good original condition. When viewed in person the vase present with a vivid red even more intense than on the catalogue illustration. The glass with a few small air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not visually distracting. The surfaces with occasional shallow scratches consistent with age and gentle handling. The bright red contrasts beautifully with the clear glass.
