Condition
Overall very good condition. When viewed in person, the vase presents with a rich deep russet red hue, which contrasts beautifully with the vibrant iridized decoration. The glass with a few scattered minor air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and some light surface scratches consistent with age and gentle handling. A very nice piece with charming, diminutive scale.
