Acquired from Macklowe Gallery, New York, by the present owner, 2005

Overall in very good condition. The exterior with a few areas of light surface scratches and surface abrasions, primarily reserved to the most outer extremities of the vase and lower base. With some occasional scattered air bubble inclusions inherent in the making. A superb example displaying exceptional scale, exquisitely defined peacock eyes and feather decoration, and strong color and iridescence.
