Condition
Overall in very good original condition. When viewed in person, the glass presents with a bright aqua color, which is enhanced by the highly detailed carving and is accurately represented in the catalogue illustration. 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 consistent with age and gentle handling. The raised contours of the carving with very few scattered minute pinhead flecks. A great example of the iconic battuto technique.
