Condition

Intact, with deposits on interior and an incredible silvery iridescence. Vessel once had a pontil scar or mark, now smoothed, which indicates that the vessel was free-blown. (The absence of such a mark would suggest that the work was either mold-blown or that the mark was intentionally smoothed away or wore away over time.
