Condition
Overall in very good original condition. When viewed in person, the glass presents with an intensely saturated black hue. The glass with a few minute air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not at all visually disruptive. The glass with a few occasional light surface scratches consistent with age and gentle handling. Minor dirt to the interiors of the vases. Two elegant and refined forms that present with nice scale when viewed in person.
