Condition
Overall in generally very good condition, consistent with age. The surface presents with a few light scuffs and/or nicks, but generally there are no visually obtrusive marks. There is one small chip to edge of the lip measuring approximately ¼ in in length, which has been professionally and sensitively restored. A dynamic form that remains one of Wirkkalas most recognizable models.
