In good overall condition. The rock crystal with a fair amount of natural intrinsic inclusions and internal fractures, as to be expected; the surfaces with the usual scratches, scuffs and light wear as to be expected from use and light handling. The metal mounts also in good condition, likewise with the typical light wear associated with use. The circular bases appear to be varnished or lacquered over the metal.
