Condition

Overall very good condition. The glass with some scattered minor air bubbles and particulate inclusions throughout, inherent in the making and not visually distracting. As is commonly seen in Flower Forms, the interior coupe with some extremely minor scattered red spotting, inherent in the sprayed application of the iridescent surface treatment and not visually distracting, and with some light surface soiling. The rim is deeply ruffled, achieving a highly dynamic and naturalistic effect. The foot with a small surface irregularity near the tip of one of the petal decorations emanating from the stem, inherent in the making and not visually distracting. A highly artistic and naturalistic design with elegant proportions and beautifully executed decoration.
