Condition
Overall in very good original condition. When viewed in person, the glass presents with an intense cobalt blue even brighter than in the catalogue illustration. The horse with gilt decoration and touches of red through out. The glass with a few minute air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not at all visually disruptive. The glass surfaces with a few occasional light surface scratches and surface dirt to the recessed areas consistent with age and gentle handling. A playful design by Barovier.
