Condition
Overall excellent condition. Several vases have tiny chips to the rims, probably from being banged against faucets. Most pieces show normal wear to the undersides. There are a few minor imperfections to the glass, which is inherent to the manufacturing process. There is a superb assortment of patterns and colors, including several models which are extremely rare.
