Condition

Overall very good condition. When viewed in person the vase presents with even stronger iridescence compared to the catalogue illustration. The glass surfaces with scattered extremely minor surface scratches consistent with age and gentle handling. The glass with scattered minor air bubbles and particulate inclusions, inherent in the making and not visually detractive. The interior edge of the aperture with a few very small vertical toolmarks inherent in the making and not visually detractive. A beautiful example with rich iridization and delicately executed naturalistic decoration.
