Condition
Minute stable hairline fissures on rim, neck, base, and one spot on the upper body. Otherwise in fine condition with beautiful golden and rainbow iridescence. Nice pontil mark on underside. A pontil scar or mark indicates that a vessel was free-blown, while the absence of such a mark suggests that the work was either mold-blown or that the mark was intentionally smoothed away or wore away over time.
