This vase has been damaged at some stage and then stuck back together crudely with plain glue, i think this is worthy of proper restoration as a piece of this quality and design are incredible rare and it itself is outstandingly beautiful, i've had this piece for nearly 10 years without the damage ever bothering me once, but sadly i have to clear some space so this too must go. Measures 9 1/2 inches tall, has been broken to body, neck and handles, no pinning of any kind.
