Overall in very good condition. With a few very small and minor air bubble inclusions inherent in the making. The exterior is subtly iridized, imparting the entire vase with great luminosity. A very satisfying form likely inspired by ancient glass sources, displaying well-defined and controlled deep red feather decoration in beautiful sinuous patterns. An unusual and attractive early vase.
