Condition
Overall in good condition. When viewed in person, the glass displays subtle hues which do not appear in the catalogue illustration. The glass with a few minor air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making. The surfaces with a few surface scratches consistent with age and gentle handling. Under black light, the black application with two restorations to one side at the back of the head and around the bottom of the stem. A small imperfection between the fins, most likely inherent in the making. An extremely rare technique.
