This vase is very old. This antique vase is in very good to excellent, original as-found, condition. A little chip inside lid is pictured.
There is small chip in surface layer of black enamel ground of lid and also a little rough spot on shoulder, also in black ground. I could not get to photo as they are very difficult to see. With vases 100 yrs old, there is some minor pitting common to early pieces, and normal wear from being around a long time. Please see photos as part of this description. Vase is good size at approximately 8 tall.
