Condition
Overall excellent condition. When viewed in person, the vase presents with rich, deep translucent and opaque reds, burgundies and a mixture of orange and goldenrod in between the murrine forms. Small scattered open air bubbles throughout the surface which are inherent in its production and not visually disruptive. The underside of the base with very minor surface scuffs and faint hairline surface scratches consistent with age. A striking and unique example of this master glass designer.
