Great old piece with no chips or cracks. There is some aged surface wear and build up but as seen is a great looking piece. There is a very bold very heavy texture covering the whole piece very easy to see and feel. There is also many very nice air bubbles in the glass giving it a very nice look. The ink well is also naturally misshaped and not evenly made. All of this gives this piece a great look. Perfect piece to add to your collection...... please check out our store for many other great pieces to add to your collection.
