Condition Report:
Overall in good condition. When viewed in person, the vase displays a complex marble surface with rich colors ranging from ivory to dark pink. The vase presents with areas of minor surface abrasions concentrated to one side of the vase body (the largest measuring approximately 5/8 inch long) which are consistent with use and gentle handling. The vase presents with smaller indentations concentrated to the upper corner of one handles and on the outer rim of the piece which are not visually distracting.
