Condition
Overall in excellent original condition. The glass with a few minor air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not at all visually distracting. The surface with a few very minor and light surface scratches commensurate with gentle handling. One of the applied grapes is not totally round as seen in the upper right of the photograph illustration and inherent in the making. When viewed in persons, the piece presents with an extraordinary range of vivid color and intricate detailing to the snails application.
