Condition
Overall very good condition. The glass with air bubbles and minute particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not at all visually detractive; with one minor burst air bubble to the surface approximately one inch below the aperture. The glass with some light and very minor surface scratches consistent with age and gentle handling. The under base with some very minor traces of adhesive residue. A beautifully decorated sculptural piece.
