Condition Report
The vase displays general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use. Heavy tarnishing is visible to some areas and it would benefit from a clean and polish. Deeper scratches visible to some areas and various minor nicks and pitting marks. The central tapering stem appears to be leaning slightly to one side. The hallmarks are clear and legible, however the maker's mark is partly distorted. Impressions from the hallmarks can be seen on the underside.
