Condition

Overall in very good condition. The glass with air bubbles and minute particulate inclusions inherent in the making, not visually detractive. The glass with very light and minor surface scratches consistent with age and gentle handling. The finely executed decoration presents with wonderful harmony with the teardrop form of the vase. A very nice example with vibrant coloration.
