Condition
Overall very good condition. The copper surfaces present with scattered minor surfaces scratches, discolorations, some light wear, and a few very minor instances of oxidation, consistent with age and gentle handling. The interior with some light surface soiling and oxidation. The underside with old adhesive residue. A beautiful example with striking sculptural presence.
