Some bubbles and specks in the glass, this is how it was made, but one of the bubbles has a small burst to the top surface - this is near the base on the edge of one of the folds. A couple of tiny abrasions. Light natural wear. Light natural wear to the underside of the foot in keeping with age. Predominantly good condition.
