Condition
Overall very good original condition. The vase with a few scattered small and minor air bubbles and inclusions inherent in the making. With a minute chip to the widest point of the base which is in the non-decorated portion of the ground and does impact the decorative scheme. Some minor wear to the enameling at the rim and foot consistent with age and gentle handling. The underbase with shallow surface scratches consistent with age. The vase presents with a subtle color palette and detailed decoration when viewed in person.
