Condition
Overall in very good original condition. When viewed in person, the glass presents with a subtle sepia tone and iridized surface and is accurately represented in the catalogue illustration. The glass with a few minor 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 consistent with age and gentle handling. A deeply sculptural piece with great scale and presence.
