Vase is in good used condition. It has a mark on the inside of the opening. Could be a manufacturer’s defect but not quite for sure. I can feel it with my fingernail but it doesn’t go all the way through. No other defects that I have saw. The the hand painting may have slight wear but it looks pretty good. The gold on the top is worn some. But still good and vibrant. I really like the silver flake on this one . It makes it stand out.
