Condition Report:
Overall in very good condition. When viewed firsthand, the vase displays a predominantly earthy palette of brick-red and chartreuse tones with fine streaks of lilac and periwinkle, which are elegantly interspersed by transparent windows of glass. The walls of the vase are opaque which enhances the dramatic effect of the transparent windows. The glass presents with occasional minor air bubbles, particulate inclusions and surface irregularities which are inherent in the making and not visually distracting. The glass surfaces throughout with scattered, very fine and light surface scratches consistent with age and gentle handling. The interior of the vase with traces of light surface soiling. The underside of the vase is applied with a Doros Collection accession number. A complex work with great depth and saturated coloration.
