Condition

Colour slightly deeper red than suggested in catalogue illustration. A few internal air bubbles, two of which are visible on catalogue illustration and the largest at end of trail at left of catalogue illustration, totally inherent to the making process. A couple of rough areas, mainly to both side in the center at the bottom just visible on catalogue illustration and again, this would have been done at the time of the manufacture. A pleasing tactile piece.
