Condition
Overall very good condition. The lily shades present with strong iridescence and are a very harmonious set. The glass with scattered minute air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making, and with some extremely minor scattered red spotting to a few of the shades, inherent in the sprayed application of the iridescent surface treatment and not visually detractive. The shades with some extremely minor felabites around their upper apertures, consistent with age and gentle handling. The base is in very good condition with some expected wear to the gilt finish and some light surface soiling and minor traces of oxidation to the recessed portions of the design. One fitter petal has been professionally restored. A very nice example of the model.
