Overall very good condition with no damage or restoration detected. There are occasional very minor surface abrasions to the exterior of the vase commensurate with age and use. There are several occasional small air bubbles and very minor flecks of impurities in the glass as a result of the manufacturing process. There is a good clear circular acid-stamp to the underside of the polished pontil. Overall this represents a rare opportunity to acquire an example of the pezzato series in scarce Istanbul colors.
