Condition
Overall very good condition. With very small and minor, scattered surface scratches to the underbase. The vase presents with very few scattered air bubbles and inclusions inherent in the making, and with some minor accumulation of surface dirt in the interior of the vase. The vase presents with a vibrant green coloration and with an even, rhythmic leaf pattern in sculptural molded decoration. The original white patiné heightens sculpted quality of the leaf pattern. The catalogue photo is an accurate representation of the vase's jewel-tone green coloration.
