Condition report
A Christie's specialist may contact you to discuss this lot or to notify you if the condition changes prior to the sale.
The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
Overall good condition with light surface scratches and minor wear commensurate with age and gentle use. The glass enhanced with a darker gray patina, making the peacocks more pronounced. The glass presents with air bubbles, some reaching the surface, and minor irregularities inherent in the making. One peacock's crown with a minor (less than 1⁄8 in.) drop of white paint. The top rim with a very minor (less than 1⁄8 in.) edge chip, only visible upon close inspection and not visually distracting. The underside with typical wear and light surface scratches. Presents well and ready for display.
