Overall in very good original condition. When viewed in person the glass presents with a bright green color contrasting with the clear, white and black. The glass with a few minor air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not visually distracting. A few open small air bubbles to the rim, only visible upon close inspection. The surfaces with a few shallow scratches consistent with age and gentle handling. A very playful design.
