Private Collection, New York, circa 1945
Thence by descent to the present owner

Overall very good condition. The glass surfaces with scattered extremely minor surface scratches consistent with age and gentle handling, with a few slightly larger surface scratches to the widest point of the bulb. The glass with scattered minor air bubbles and particulate inclusions, inherent in the making and not visually detractive, including a few small dark inclusions on the interior edge of the aperture. The underside of the foot with seven small areas of adhesive residue resulting from tape previously applied to the vase, some visible in the catalogue illustration, the largest measuring approximately 2 inches which extend from the pontil upward. With the original Tiffany Glass & Decorating Company paper label, detached but present. An elegant, naturalistic form with unusual vertical ribbed decoration on the stem which emphasizes the floral form.
