See Felix Marcilhac, Rene Lalique - Catalogue Raisonee des Oeuvres de Verre, Paris 1989, page 445 no.1030 and Patricia Bayer and Mark Waller, The Art of Rene Lalique 1988, p.144, for similar examples of this vase.

When viewed from above it can be seen that some of the outer walls of the vase are slightly thicker than others in manufacture, as it is such a heavy vase there are inevitably a few minute nicks to the edge of the foot and occasional scratching or scuffing to the base, there are only a few minor internal flaws to the glass, essentially in good condition with no restoration chips or cracks.
Please note the base of this vase has been repolished around the foot and now steps inward where it should go straight downward.
