Condition
Overall very good condition. The patina displays with a rich russet brown and green coloration, with light and minor surface scratches and abrasions, and with some oxidation to the recessed areas of the design, all consistent with age and gentle handling. With original bobeche. A very charming and finely detailed example from a special commission series.
