Please note that what appears to be black glass in the photograph is actually dark pinkish/red. There is an old flake loss chip to the front of one of the flower heads - this chip has been polished smooth. It has possibly been done in the workshop. The handles all remain in excellent condition and there are no cracks or damage to the body.
