Condition
Overall very good condition with no damage or restoration detected. There are occasional very minor surface abrasions to the underside. It is not apparent in the catalogue photograph, however the iridescence is far more pronounced to the interior of the bowl than the exterior. The photograph in the catalogue and online also make the color of the glass appear darker than in reality. In reality the interior has a golden iridescence, and the ground has a pale golden amber tint.
