Overall in very good condition. The fan with a few visible tool marks inherent in the making (commonly seen with Jacks), and with a few very fine surface scratches. A beautiful example with impressive color and iridescence. In person, the vase is incredibly luminous, displaying great subtleties to the crazed iridescent surfaces around the ruffled rim.
