Condition

Overall in very good condition. The favrile glass with some very small and minute scattered air bubble and particulate inclusions inherent in the making. The interior of the vase with light traces of calcium deposits consistent with age and use, which are not visible from the exterior and do not at all detract from the decorative scheme of the vase. A fine example displaying impressive scale, highly artistic and vigorous wave form decoration, and strong luminous coloration. The exterior is intensely iridized and when viewed with reflected light displays a strongly saturated range of purple, magenta, turquoise, gold, and green hues.
