Condition

Overall in very good original condition. When viewed in person, the glass presents with an intensely saturated black with aubergine hue. The glass with a few small air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not at all visually disruptive. The surfaces with a few occasional light surface scratches consistent with age and gentle handling. Minor dirt to the interior. A monumental scale and refined design.
