Provenance

Grogan & Co., Boston, Massachusetts, May 21, 2011, lot 62
Acquired from the above by the present owner

Condition

Overall condition very good, with no damage or restoration detected. There are occasional tiny dark flecks of impurities in the surface of the glass from the making, some of which are discernible in the catalogue photograph, and which in our opinion do not adversely affect the overall attractive appearance of the vase. Please note that the color depicted in the catalogue/online photograph is not accurate. The yellow circles are a more attractive golden to slightly orange-yellow, not the acidic sharp yellow depicted.
In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above. Since we are not professional conservators or restorers, we urge you to consult with a restorer or conservator of your choice who will be better able to provide a detailed, professional report. Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective qualified opinion.
NOTWITHSTANDING THIS REPORT OR ANY DISCUSSIONS CONCERNING CONDITION OF A LOT, ALL LOTS ARE OFFERED AND SOLD "AS IS" IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS OF SALE PRINTED IN THE CATALOGUE.
