Condition

Overall very good condition. The hand-wrought copper surfaces display an exceptionally rich and warm russet brown patina. The copper surfaces with scattered minor surfaces scratches, discolorations, some light wear, and a few very minor instances of oxidation, consistent with age and gentle handling. The interior of the vase with surface soiling, minor water damage and oxidation, consistent with age and use. A spectacular, monumental form with outstanding visual presence.
