Condition
Good overall condition. The surface presents with a few rare light surface scratches, a few rare scuffs of patina and some instances of wear to the patina, mostly concentrated on the stem and the base, as visible on the catalogue illustration. There are some instances of very light vert-de-gris on the base, not visually distracting and some tiny vert-de-gris spots in the recessed areas and on the underside. The leaves of the top element presents with a few tiny irregularities and flaws inherent to the making (tiny cracks, tiny breaks). The three-leave top element can be removed.
