Condition Report:
Overall in very good condition. The glass displays with scattered minor air bubbles, particulate inclusions and minor surface irregularities inherent in the making and not visually detractive. The glass surfaces with some occasional extremely fine and minor surface scratches, consistent with age and gentle handling. In the band of circular decoration, one of the circular motifs with a small fleck to the prunt at the uppermost point of the circle, not visually detractive. The inner surface of the rim with a very small open air bubble. The interior of the vase with some light surface soiling. A strongly iridized and dynamic blown glass vase.
