The background color of the shields alternates between a cream colored background and a deep reddish copper with shimmering gold stone/mica highlights. The base and the interior mouth is covered with a greenish-yellow enamel application. Measures 9 3/4" high with a 2" diameter top with an approximate 4 overall width.
This nice vase is very good to excellent Estate condition with no noted flaws. There is what appears to be an old professional repair in the background enamel on the lower left of one shield (see photos) that is not easily spotted and does not detract at all from the beauty of this vase. There may be a few faint pits in the enamel from production mentioned only for accuracy. Have been in the Antiques business for over 30 years and try to describe our items as accurately as possible.
