Condition

There are two internal bruises to the center just beneath the shoulder of the vase, each approximately 0.25 inches wide. To the reverse side there is an area of hardened glue residue. The interior of the vase has liquid residue marks. In our opinion this does not adversely affect the overall attractive appearance of the vase. Please note that the catalogue photograph does not accurately reflect the true color and lustrous iridescence of the vase. The photograph makes the vase appear to have a slight white cloudy tint, whereas in reality it has more of a subtle, pleasant straw colored warm yellowish tint.
