Please note that the color reproduction in the catalogue is not accurate. In reality the blue is more of a vivid cobalt blue, not the purpley-blue, and the reds are a deep ruby color, not the brownish reds seen here. There are occasional fine marks and abrasions to surfaces and extremities commensurate with age and use.
