Additional Notes & Condition Report

Decanter: appears to be in generally good condition; there are some internally trapped air bubbles in the glass, in the making, and not of great consequence; there are some short scratch marks to the iridescent surface; there is a small particle inclusion embedded onto the under exterior side of the mouth/lip area; there is some irregularity to the shape of the mouth, i.e., it is ever so slightly not fully "in the round," there is a small downward tilt to this part of the rim; the interior appears to be generally clean, i.e., not clouded or water stained; the numeral 320 is engraved on the underside of the stopper and on the underside of the bottle

Cordial Glasses: one has a very small, almost imperceptible fleabite-size nick to its upper rim; two cordials have burst air bubbles on the exterior surface; one example has short scratches to its iridescent surface, not of great consequence; otherwise, each appears to be in generally good, undamaged and clean condition; there are some color variations to the iridescence, for example, one example has very strong blue iridescence to its interior whereas the others are more golden; each cordial is engraved on the underside with the numeral 626
