Condition
Overall in very good original condition. The murine presents with a bright turquoise and a deep ruby colors accurately shown in the catalogue illustration. The glass with a few minute air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not at all visually distracting. The surfaces with a few occasional light surface scratches consistent with age and gentle handling. A great example of the technique with strong presence when viewed first-hand.
