Overall in very good condition. The shade displays a vibrant apple green coloration when viewed firsthand. The shade with approximately 3 hairline cracks dispersed throughout, stable. The shade with some minor and light traces of surface soiling concentrated to the contours adjacent to the leadlines, consistent with age. The base displays a rich, variegated green and brown patina and presents with scattered minor surface scratches and abrasions and light wear to the patina throughout consistent with age and gentle use. The shade arms with some extremely minor wear and flaking to the patina. With period sockets. With a period finial in very good condition.
