Condition
Overall in very good condition. The glass surfaces with some small to minute air bubble inclusions, and some very small and minor particulate inclusions, all inherent in the making and not visually detracting. The interior rim with a trace of a tiny burst air bubble (1/16 inch). The vase interior is beautifully iridized, imparting the vase with strong luminosity and visual depth. The underbase with traces of adhesive from prior application of small circular felt glides. A superb example, displaying a highly artistic composition, well-controlled decoration and strong coloration.
