Condition
This work is in good condition overall. Each of the three bottles and their respective caps are accounted for, and the transfer-text labels are stable and tightly bound to the surface of the glass. The bottles and caps each present light wear and soiling, which is consistent with the artist's chosen media. Under raking light inspection, the transfer-text labels present faint yellowing, which is consistent with their age.
