Condition

Very good condition overall The edges of the glass wings present with extremely minute chips. Some of them might be original to the making and caused by burst bubbles inherent to the manufacturing process. The body of the bird presents with a very minute surface chip of approximately 0,1 cm of diameter, not visually distractive. The gilt bronze presents with very light tarnishing overall, consistent with age and use. The ball held in the beak of the bird is rotating and presents with a few scratches caused by the rotation and some surface soiling.
