Condition

This vase is in good condition, but does have a very small dent to the rim. There are various nicks to the inside neck which most likely relate to the manufacture of the vase. There are also various nicks and scratches to the rim, the body, the handles and the foot consistent with its age. There is one small area of pale blue encrustation to one scroll on the body behind one handle.
