Condition Report
The centreband has lost much of its original bright gilded finish, is generally very worn and darker than one would typically expect. The upper and lower lines of gilt around the frieze are very rubbed with only partial remnants remaining.

No cracks, chips, damages or repairs. There are some scratches to the mouth of the vase and further, heavier scratching to the foot - including one scratch that extends in the centre of the base. The upper part of the vase has a few bubble inclusions to the glass. There is a small bruise/edge knock near the lower portion of the vase, near the foot rim. See additional images.
