Condition
Overall in good original condition. The nickel-plated surface with scattered discolorations and dulling to the surface finish consistent with the natural aging process. With surface dirt and oxidation to the recessed portion of the design. There are losses to the plating around the perimeter of the foot, many of which are visible in the catalogue illustration. The surfaces of the body with shallow surface scratches, minor dents and rubbing consistent with handling. A wonderful work by Wright showing impressive scale and a playful form.
