Condition
Overall very good original condition. The surfaces of this object with some overall oxidation and discoloration which is accurately portrayed in the catalogue illustration. This is consistent with age and use. A superb example of the modern design of Ilonka Karasz. This piece was exhibited in the early Fifty/50 exhibition of the designer’s work.
