Condition

Overall in very good original condition. When viewed firsthand, the work presents with a vivid emerald green with orange highlights, even more intense than on the catalogue illustration. The glass with some minor air bubbles inherent in the making and not visually distractive. The glass surfaces with some minor shallow surface scratches and light surface dirt consistent with age and gentle handling. When viewed in person, the delicate thinness of the glass and intensity of the colors beautifully complements the undulating forms.
