Condition

Overall in excellent original condition. With a few minute surface scratches and some light surface dirt. Please note the measurements as this work is large in scale. The colors of this “Macchia” are more saturated and with greater nuance than they appear in the catalogue illustration. A wonderful expressive example of Chihuly’s design aesthetic.
