Condition
Overall in excellent original condition. The glass with a few minor air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not visually distracting. As seen in the catalogue illustration, the crocus flowers, each in a different color, present with a few open air bubbles. The surface with a few minor surface scratches and light surface soiling consistent with age and gentle use. A stunning example, with remarkable intricacy and color variation to the base.
