There are a few very minute nicks on top of the rim. There is a small nick, some nibbling and couple of minute air bubble to the footrim. There are some surface scratches to the body, including a somewhat deeper vertical scratch (approx. 10 cm) to one side. Otherwise the vase is in good condition. The actual colour is a little brighter compared to the catalogue illustration.
