Overall good condition consistent with age. The are scatter scuffs and light scratches the the bulbous body of the form, none of which are markedly visually obtrusive. This is common for a piece of this large size and form. There are a few popped air bubbles, primarily inherent in the making. The majority are pinhead sized with the largest being approximately 1/8 in. diameter. There is light surface dirt, general wear and rubbing to the underside of the form. The lip is in good condition with no nicks or chips. The engraved signature is to the underside. A large and striking form, this is a rare exhibition piece by Koppel. The well thought out design that has great presence when viewed in person.
