Condition is excellent. I noted 2 things: I see several tiny flecks on the interior of the shell, but they seem to be imperfections in the glass. That with the various air bubbles on the exterior is why I don't believe this a Murano artist piece. Also, at the very tip hot is the slightest bit of roughness, only distinguishable by fingernail, but I would imagine it suffered a bump at some point. It is not a break or crack. It somewhat feels like 4 pieces of sand paper grit sitting on the glass. It is practically perfect.

Please review the measurements closely, as almost all vintage sizing is NOT true to contemporary sizing AND differs, sometimes widely, from designer to designer. The BEST way to determine fit is to compare these measurements to those of a garment that fits you perfectly! Any remarkable stretch will be noted in the listing, but I am ALWAYS here and happy to help...just message me and we'll figure it out!
