Condition Report:
Overall in very good condition. The bowl is decorated with a dynamic swirling leaf and fine motif and displays strong iridescence.
The glass of the bowl and frog displays with scattered minor air bubbles, particulate inclusions and minor surface irregularities inherent in the making and not visually detractive. The glass surfaces of the bowl and frog with some occasional extremely fine and minor surface scratches, consistent with age and gentle handling. The rim of the bowl’s central column which holds the frog with a small edge fleck, only visible when the frog is removed. The underside of the bowl with a small area of tape residue. The interior of the frog with some light surface soiling.
