Overall in very good condition. The patina with light surface scratches and some minor instances of rubbing, wear, and oxidation throughout, all consistent with age and gentle handling. The upper rim with some minor denting to the lip and with a minor loss to the patina measuring approximately 1/16 x 3/16 in. The vase has been inspected under ultraviolet light and do not appear to have undergone any visible restoration. A very delicate work by Dunand with a lovely dinanderie work.
