Condition
Overall very good condition. The patinated bronze surfaces display an exceptionally rich russet brown and green patina, with some scattered minor surface scratches and abrasions consistent with age and gentle handling. The recessed contours of the design with some light traces of oxidation. The glass is in very good condition with some extremely minor surface irregularities inherent in the making and not visually detractive. A very attractive example of the model displaying a striking and artistic glass selection.
