Condition
Overall in very good original condition. When viewed in person, the glass presents with subtle iridescence. The glass with a few air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not at all visually disruptive. The glass with a few occasional surface scratches and surface dirt consistent with age and gentle handling. Some concentrated scratches to the legs and forehead. A very small glass node on the tail, which corresponds to a similarly small depression on the spine, inherent and as a result of the production process. A very playful design by Barovier.
