Condition
Overall in very good original condition. The vase presents with a bright green color which is accurately shown in the catalogue illustration. The glass with a few minute air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not visually distracting. The surfaces with a few surface scratches consistent with age and gentle handling. An extraordinary example with great intricacy to the form.
