Condition
Overall good condition. The glass with air bubbles and minute particulate inclusions inherent in the making, including a faint yellow thread extending diagonally from just above the base up to the aperture through the decoration, visible in the catalogue illustration. The glass with some scattered surface scratches to the interior and exterior consistent with age and handling. A dynamic design with wonderful presence when viewed in person.
