Condition

Overall in very good condition. The glass with minor air bubbles and minute particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not visually detracting. The glass surfaces with minor surface scratches, light wear to the enamel and to the gilding consistent with age and gentle use. The handle of the jug with minor surface scratches to the lower portion. The stopper appears to be original. A very delicate set which epitomizes Galle’s early works.
