Condition

Overall in very good condition. The transparent glass is beautifully decorated with soft yellow and coral flowers and aqua stems and leaves. The vase is masterfully carved over the floral motif to further articulate the forms, and is also carved with a delicate decorative scroll border around the upper rim. The glass with scattered minor air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not visually distracting. The glass surfaces with some extremely minor and light surface scratches consistent with age and handling. The interior of the vase with some minor traces of light surface soiling. The underside of the vase is applied with five discrete felt pads. A beautiful and very delicate work by Tiffany studios showing great sensitivity and nuance to the carved decoration.
