Condition
Overall in excellent original condition. The glass collection has been thoughtfully assembled over a number of years and incorporates some very rare examples. The pieces with a few minor surface scratches, small and minor abrasions and some scattered surface soiling consistent with age and gentle use. A wonderful set displaying great range in the forms designed by George Sakier.
