condition
In very good condition with no damage or repair to the pierced decoration or to the glass. Some minor plate wear in a few places mainly to the edges of the detail around the middle section and minor wear to the glass just where it sits against the frame.
A very nice, practical and very pretty piece with a myriad of uses.
