mold blown and frosted glass
engraved COLOTTE NANCY/PIECE UNIQUE
7 ⅛ x 10 x 6 ¾ in. (18.1 x 25.4 x 17.1 cm)

Condition Report:
Overall in very good condition. The sculptural glass presents with a variety of surface treatments and geometric forms that are typical of Colotte’s practice as a glassmaker. The glass presents with a few minor air bubbles and particulate inclusions which are inherent to production and not visually distracting. The glass presents with scattered faint surface scratches, scuffing and very small chips concentrated to the edges and handles as consistent with gentle use. The underside of the base with a small surface regularity measuring approximately 5/8 in. wide, not visually distracting. The interior and recessed areas of the vase present with light surface soiling.
