Overall very good condition. The glass with some scattered small air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not visually detractive. The vase exterior with some scattered, extremely minor and fine surface scratches consistent with age and gentle handling. The vase has great scale and presence, and the apple blossom aquamarine decoration is incredibly optical when viewed in person with great visual depth and movement. A very impressive and beautiful example of this rare Aquamarine decorative technique. Please feel welcome to contact the department for additional images of this vase.
