Condition
Overall in very good condition. The surfaces with minor rubbing and oxidation, consistent with age and gentle use and not visually distracting. The interior of the vase with surface dirt and minor signs of wear. The underside of the base with minor rubbing concentrated to the corners. A wonderful example of this model by the Roycrofters.
