The extremely clear crystal glass rings nicely, indicating pre-war lead content, which gave greater clarity than post-war pieces. This age is consistant with the lack of any glow under long wave UV, and only a weak yellow glow under short wave UV.

In excellent condition, with no chips, cracks, or repairs excellent pattern detail, and just a few scratches that are not noticable.
