Condition
Overall very good condition. The glass with air bubbles and minute particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not at all visually detractive; with a few slightly larger dark inclusions to the interior surface where the three branches join at the top. The glass with some light and minor surface scratches consistent with age and gentle handling. A very delicate and exquisitely executed form and decoration.
