Overall very good original condition. When viewed in person, the vase presents with a bright and more intense green than in the printed and online catalogues. The glass with a few minor air bubbles and particulate inclusions, inherent in its production and are not visually disruptive. Light surface dirt on the outer surface as well as inside the vase consistent with age and gentle handling.The underside of the base with a few scattered minor surface scratches. A beautiful and well rendered example of this model.
