Condition
Overall in very good condition. When viewed in person, the red decoration is a slightly cooler, more pink hue than in the printed catalogue illustration. The glass with air bubbles and minute particulate inclusions inherent in the making, not visually detractive. The glass surfaces with light surface scratches consistent with age and gentle handling. A dynamic, asymmetrical design with a wonderful sculptural presence when viewed in person.
