Condition
Overall in very good condition. The glass with some tiny scattered air bubble inclusions, as well as a few particulate inclusions, all inherent in the making. The colors of this vase, especially in the autumn leaves and trailing vines, are far more nuanced with more vibrant coloration than they appear in the catalogue illustration, which is slightly over saturated and dark. A superb paperweight vase displaying beautiful decoration and vibrant color, and with a strongly iridized interior which imparts the vase with great luminosity.
