Condition
Overall in very good original condition... When viewed in person the decoration presents with a more aubergine color, slightly less pink than in the catalogue illustration. The glass with some air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not visually distracting. The surfaces with light surface scratches consistent with age and gentle handling. A very nice form and highly decorative motif.
