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 puddling of the iridescence primarily limited to the bottom interior (as seen in the catalogue illustration), as well as a few scattered red spots to the upper register and rim, which are all inherent in the making as part of the process of applying iridescence to the interior. A highly rare and unusual form with beautifully splayed undulating rim, and striking color and iridescence. The vase displays quite dramatically in person.
