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.
Most in very good condition. All with the typical intrinsic imperfections, in the making, associated with pâte de verre production, including inherent variations in the colors and scattered popped and internal bubbles.
