Condition

Overall in very good original condition. The color of the vase is accurately shown in the catalogue illustration. The glass is dichroic so presents with a green color when illuminated. The glass with a few minor air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not visually distracting. The surfaces with a few surface scratches consistent with age and gentle use. A strong presence and great scale when viewed in person.
