Please note that the color in the catalogue inaccurate. In reality the darker panels of the vase are an eggplant color. Overall in our opinion the vase is more attractive in reality than how it appears in the photograph. There are occasional very minor fine marks and abrasions to surfaces and extremities commensurate with age and light use.
