Overall in very good condition. With some surface dirt visible in the catalogue illustration. The clear glass body of the vase is offset by the decorated frosted glass with a green patine of the handles. The top rim with a few minute flecks and with a few shallow surface scratches and abrasions to the body of the clear vase. Each handle with a half inch abrasion and contact mark to the upper interior of the handle (adjacent to the joint with clear glass vase portion from contact. The lower portion of the interior of the handles with some minor abrasions from contact. A fleck to the interior surface of one handle. With some minor surface scratches to the underbase. The engraved script signature on the underside of the base was likely added at a later date. With four adhesive pads affixed presently to the underbase and one adhesive pad to the interior surface of the handles, in order to prohibit the handle from scratching the body of the vase. A very good example of the form.
