  • "Chouette" Vide-Poche

Condition

Overall in very good condition. When viewed first hand, the body of the owl presents with saturated nuances of violet and mauve. The pate de verre with a few minor air bubbles and minor irregularities inherent in the making and not at all visually disruptive. The surface with a few minor surface scratches and light surface dirt consistent with age and gentle handling. The back of the owl with a minor surface flat chip at the lower portion, to the leaf, measuring approximately 1/8 x 1/8 inch. A very delicate work with intense colors and exquisite surface treatment.
