Condition
Overall in very good condition. The glass surfaces with some scattered minute air bubble inclusions, all inherent in the making and not visually detracting. The lower vase interior shows some light scattered red spotting, which is inherent in the sprayed application of the iridescent surface treatment (not visually detracting). The iridized vase interior imparts the vase with strong luminosity and visual depth. The exterior of the vase with a few light and fine surface scratches. An outstanding example, displaying exquisite carved decoration on the vase exterior to the three white flower blossoms and six green leaves. The complex pattern of vines and blossoms embellishing the full circumference imparts the vase with strong visual movement.
