Condition
Overall in very good condition. The glazed surface presents with beautiful detailing and a bright apple green color. The glaze with a few minor air bubbles and imperfections inherent in the making and not at all visually disruptive. One of the sconces with a minor inherent irregularity in the glaze to the highest point of the spinning top form, visible in the catalogue illustration and not visually distracting. The lacquered metal surfaces with minor surface scratches consistent with age and gentle handling and a few very minor evidences of white house paint. The shades have been replaced and are in very good condition with minor surface scratches and light surface dirt consistent with age and gentle use. A deeply dynamic design by Jouve with strong color when viewed first hand.
