Condition
Overall in very good condition. When seen in person, the glass displays a bright blue color, more saturated and more indigo than seen in the catalogue illustration. The glass with a few minor air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making process. The glass surfaces with a few minor surface scratches consistent with age and gentle use. A great example of the model, rare in blue. -----
