Félix Marcilhac, René Lalique, 1860-1945: maître-verrier: analyse de l'oeuvre et catalogue raisonné, Paris, 2011, p. 415

Overall in very good condition. The glass with a few very minor air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in its production. A few faint and scattered surface scratches to the top surface of the opening of the vase. The surface with a few isolated faint and minor silver colored surface marks, not visually distracting, and could be removed with professional attention, and three very minor flecks: one to a feather on the upper left wing proper of one of the birds, one to the left thigh proper of an archer, and one to the right proper middle finger of another archer, none of which are visually distracting. The underside of the base with scattered nicks and scratches, and one minor chip to the outer rim, measuring approximately 3mm. A beautiful and striking example in a deep and rich electric blue that presents very well.
