Condition
Overall in excellent condition. This vase is decorated with a fine rendering of fish swimming through waves, and displays particularly strong coloration when viewed firsthand. The pate de verre with minor air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not visually distracting. The vase with some minor surface accretions across the surface of the vase, only visible upon close inspection. The vase with some surface dirt present in recessed contours, mostly concentrated to the upper area of the vase. A dynamic design with masterful workmanship.
