Sotheby's New York, June 18, 1998, lot 246

Overall in very good condition. The glass presents with a few minor air bubbles consistent with the material and not at all visually disturbing. The bottom of the plates are slightly uneven and some of the green edging presents with minor irregularities inherent to the making. The glass surface with minor surface scratches and surface dirt consistent with age and gentle use. One of the soup bowls has been sensitively restored to the interior of the coupe. The candlestick and short compotes with minute chips to the bottom of the green decoration on each side of the standard, consistent with age and gentle use. A wonderful and large collection very rare to appear on the market.
