Their are some factory anomalies on this one. Near the top and side is a little nubbin that is a half melted piece of glass that hangs off the side and is an obvious manufacturing error but it's neat and it hasn't broken off or chipped over the years. the base has a chip and it's on the underside and it's more of a thing you can feel than see. It may need some cleaning in the crevasses however it is very pretty and I have always loved having this vase around.
