Dining at Home

Both appearing in overall good, stable, attractive condition. The glass appears intact without cracks, chips or restroation. The claret with small instances of tarnish and polish residue to the recessed decoration and interior of the lid. The glass body with a few areas of slightly heavier scratches, largely does not detract from overall aesthetic unless viewed closely. The glass collar cut to fit silver spot with a sealant between glass and spot, the sealant showing signs of degredation and would likely need to be resealed prior to use.

The German water pitcher with instances of tarnish to the silver and light surface scratches consistent with use and polishing. This example with moderate shelfwear to the underside, commensurate with age and use.
