Condition
Overall in excellent original condition. When viewed in person, the vase presents with a more intense violet color than seen in the catalogue illustrations with more depth, nuances and purple hues. The pate de verre with minor air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not at all visually distracting. An iconic design by Argy Rousseau, each of the pickers presents in a different and dynamic position.
