Venini Catalogo Blu, model no. 30

Overall in very good original condition. When viewed in person the glass presents with a slightly greener color than seen in the catalogue illustration. The glass with a few minor air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not visually distracting. The surfaces with a few light surface scratches consistent with age and gentle handling. The mirrored glass with a few minor surface scratches consistent with gentle use. The metal with evidences of oxidation consistent with age. A very rare model in this color. When viewed in person, the beautiful treatment of the glass surface give even more depth to the mirrors.
