Overall in very good condition. The shoulder of the vase with a few scattered surface scratches and abrasions to the iridized surfaces. The bottom interior of the vase with light surface soiling. The color of the vase is slightly more saturated and warmer in tonality than seen in the catalogue illustration, with incredibly intense iridescence and luminosity to the exterior. The foot is elaborately decorated with overlapping stylized zig-zag devices.
