Condition

Overall in very good original condition. When viewed in person, the colors are very slightly more subtle than in the catalogue illustration, the green glass presents with more transparency. The glass with a few minor air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not visually distracting. The surfaces with a few shallow scratches consistent with age and gentle handling. The upper shoulder with a small concentrated area of shallow surface scratches with associated dirt. Light surface dirt to the interior. A beautiful piece with strong visual presence.
