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 surfaces with a few very light minor and isolated surface scratches commensurate with gentle handling. When viewed in person, the piece presents with great depth and a highly detailed decoration enhanced by the red color behind the dragonfly body.
