Condition
Overall in excellent condition. The favrile glass with some occasional small and tiny air bubble inclusions inherent in the making. The exterior surfaces with a few very light and tiny surface scratches consistent with age and gentle handling. The decoration and foil inclusions show far greater nuance and color variation than seen in the catalogue illustration, imparting the vase with strong visual interest and depth.
