Condition

Overall in excellent condition. The favrile glass with some small and tiny scattered air bubble inclusions, and a few tiny particulate inclusions, inherent in the making. The exterior with a small light surface scratch below the top rim and a few very minor light surface scratches to the body. A gorgeous example displaying spectacular color and extraordinarily well-defined and controlled decoration around the circumference of the vase. The color is deeper and richer than seen in the catalogue illustration.
