Condition
Overall in good condition. With surface dirt throughout. The metal elements with scratches, rubbing, and signs of corrosion to the ends and interior. The glass with unevenness to surface, which appears inherent in the making. One area with a break with glass missing and is rough to the touch. There is also a crack to the base of the glass portion, which is visible in the catalogue photograph. This currently appears stable and would possibly benefit from restoration.
