Condition Report:
Overall in very good condition. When viewed firsthand, the vase displays a highly iridized surface with luminous golden petal motifs set against psychedelic swirls on an opaque white and pale yellow ground. 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 displays a subtle craquelure texture particularly concentrated to the petal motifs, inherent in the making and not visually distracting. The rim of the vase with several small and shallow tooling marks to the glass, 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 golden yellow interior of the vase is applied with a crackled iridescence with traces of light surface soiling. The underside of the vase is applied with a Doros Collection accession number.
