Condition

Overall in very good condition. With some very minor surface irregularities (air bubbles and inclusions) which are inherent in the glass and carving technique. The rim with a few minute burst air bubbles. One minor inherent irregularity along the rim, likely a series of burst air bubbles. This vase presents with a range of well-defined colors. Each of the medallions decorating to the upper register of the vase with a different rendering of the subject. A very well-carved example.
