Condition
Very good overall condition. The glass presents with a few small air bubbles and a few very rare minute burst bubbles on the surface, inherent to the making. The rim presents with a small flaw inherent to the making. There are a few tiny traces of surface soiling. The gilt metal base is not the original one. It presents with a few light scratches, some very light wear and very light oxidation, consistent with age and use.
