Condition Notes
Vase was broken in three places at the back of the vase and repaired at some point in its history. Repair seems to be made with some type of glue adhesive, which is dried and present in a brownish tint around the broken pieces. There is a small, roughly 1 millimeter shaped triangular piece at the back of the vase that is missing.
