In overall stable and ready to place condition. There are no breaks, losses, cracks or repairs noted. There is a slight cloudiness to the 'clear' sections of the vase that are consistent throughout. Glaze bubbles inherent to the glass blowing process are most visible in the lower burgundy band as well as one prominent raised glaze bubble on the widest blue band. One other blemish a quarter turn away from this glaze bubble is also present. A very faint break in the green band may be an internal scratch or simply a variation in the glass. There is no external textural difference. Very minor surface scratching visible in some light on close inspection. Smudging from handling could benefit from a light cleaning. Minor shelf wear to the underside consistent with age and placement. Please see or request additional condition images.
