Overall in very good condition. The glass with a few minute scattered air bubble inclusions inherent in the making. The interior of the vase with some very minor puddling of the iridescence limited to the very bottom interior, as well as a few small scattered red spots on the interior, which are all inherent in the making as part of the process of applying the iridescence to the interior. A superb sculptural floriform displaying tremendous scale, highly unusual pinched contours, beautifully defined feather decoration, and an elaborately decorated base.
