Condition
Overall in very good condition. This is a very well matched pair. The pewter presents with a very faint surface scratches and minor pitting throughout consistent with age and gentle handling. Both of the glass liners are in very good condition, one of which appear to be a later production. The original liner with a minor area of adhesive residue to the top portion and minor surface scratches consistent with gentle use. The dynamism of the base is enhanced by the vibrant green glass.
