Condition
Good overall condition. The surface presents with a few extremely light surface scratches. The glass presents with a few burst bubbles and air bubbles in the glass, including a larger one on the lower half of the body (approx 1,4 cm high). Right next to this bubble, the glass presents with a tiny chip. The foot presents with a small filigree irregularity within the glass inherent to the manufacturing process.
