Provenance

Sotheby's New York, June 14, 1991, lot 258

Condition

Overall in very good condition. The glasses with a few very minor particulate and minute air bubbles inherent to the material and not at all visually distracting. The surfaces with a few minor shallow scratches and minute abrasions consistent with age and very gentle use. One of the water glass presents with an internal crack along the bottom of the coupe, measuring approximately 2 inches in length. Another water glass with a minor restored chip along the lower edge along approximately 3/4 in. A great ensemble and very stylish design by Lalique.
