Overall in excellent condition. The pate de verre with minor air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not visually distracting. The vase with some surface dirt present in recessed contours, mostly concentrated to the upper rim. The wolves with some minor bleeding of the pigment, inherent in the technique and not visually distracting. When viewed in person, this vase presents with a gorgeous array of soft lavender and snowy white tones.
