Condition
Overall very good condition. The glass with some scattered extremely minor air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not visually detractive. The upper fan with some subtle toolmarks in the creases that delineate the tulip petals, inherent in the making and not at all visually detractive. A highly sculptural and complex form further heightened by its exceptionally rich and saturated coloration. This vase epitomizes the naturalism and sheer beauty that Tiffany strove to capture in his most advanced Flower Form vases.
