Condition

Overall very good condition. When viewed in person, the vase presents with slightly less blue and more green coloration to the stems than in the catalogue illustration. The upper portion of the vase with approximately a one inch band of very subtle iridescence which is visible under strong reflected light. The glass throughout with scattered minor air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and light surface scratches consistent with age and gentle handling. A beautiful example with nice scale, presence, and strong color.
