Condition
Overall very good original condition. The vase with a few scattered small and minor air bubbles, burst airbubbles and inclusions inherent in the making. One air bubble, measuring approximately 1 1/2 inches in length and less a 1/16 inch in length, is located at the narrowest point of the vase, which is also inherent in the production. One slightly deeper burst air bubble to the underside of the base. Various light scratches to the body of the vase and the underside, commensurate with gentle handling. The vase presents with one internal blemish (measuring 1/8 inch in diameter), likely an inclusion, located at the widest point of the base just above one leaf inherent in the making. The vase with highly saturated colors, which appear more vivid than in the catalogue illustration when viewed in person.
