Condition

Overall in very good condition. When viewed firsthand, the vase displays an opaque, rich red-orange hue. It is beautifully contrasted by the silver band of iridized decoration, which displays undertones of blue and seafoam green. The glass surfaces with scattered minute surface irregularities inherent in the making and not visually distracting. The neck and upper shoulder of the vase with a few faint pulled threads, inherent in the making and not visually distracting. The inner edge of the rim with a few minute tool marks inherent in the making. A particularly fine example displaying outstanding coloration.
