There are scattered pin-point glaze imperfections. There is very light overall wear to the enamels and glaze. There is minor wear to the gilding on the handles. There is a ca. 0,8 cm burst glaze bubble near a deer's head behind a rock on the bottom part. Part of the white glaze on the base is misfired to a yellowish tone. Overall the vase is in good condition. The colours are strong and of a darker, more saturated tone than the catalogue illustration suggests.
