Condition
Overall in very good original condition. When viewed in person, the color of the glass is even more vivid than in the catalogue illustration, with electric blue and bright red. The glass with a few minor air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not visually distracting. The surfaces with light surface scratches consistent with age and gentle use. The bottle has retained its original stopper which is in very good condition. A very playful design with strong colors.
