Condition
Overall in very good condition. The pâte de verre with minor air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent to the production of the piece and with minor surface scratches concentrated to the rim, consistent with age and gentle handling. The interior with minor white residue possibly inherent in production and is not visible from the exterior. The underside of the base with minor surface scratches. A well rendered and rare motif that presents very well overall.
