Condition
Overall excellent condition. When viewed in person, the vase presents with a variety of intense red hues and the murine pattern is much more defined and visible than in the printed and online catalogs. The aventurine glass possesses soft pink particles which shimmer and refract in the light. The glass with a few scattered air bubbles, these are inherent in its production and are not visually disruptive. The underside of the base with very minor surface scuffs and faint hairline surface scratches consistent with age and gentle handling. A finely proportioned unique example of this master glass designer.
