Condition
Overall in very good condition. When viewed in person, the blue accents are brighter and more intensely saturated than in the printed catalogue illustration. The glass with air bubbles and minute particulate inclusions inherent in the making, not visually detractive. The handle with a minor irregularity to the surface of the glass, inherent in the making. The lower edge of the spout with some extremely minor abrasions only visible upon close inspection. The underside of the foot with exhibition putty residue. A very refined and delicate form with ornate decoration.
