Condition
Overall in good condition. The surfaces with a few surface scratches, very minor dents, a few minor discolorations and minor irregularities consistent with age and gentle use. The bottom of the tray has been later polished and presents with a slightly less brighter surface than the rest of the piece. The base of the stems of two glasses have been restored, sound. A few of the glasses are slightly out of round, consistent with age and gentle use. An iconic design.
