Hard to let this one go. They simply don't come better. The color is out of this world and the condition is hard to believe. A glowing yellow like nothing else in the hobby, this one is particularly radiant from some added dome glass and a thicker skirt portion. Doubtful another exists in the hobby in better condition. If I look very hard, I might say 11 drips have from the tiniest scuff down to a couple that are genuinely chipped. There is a tiny scallop flake at the base mold line to the right of "Petticoat" and a smaller one at the left wire ridge mould line that looks factory to me. Embossing is the most desireable Prismic style without the periods. The last one of these I saw in a condition like this was from the Bill Reid collection and sold through a Klingensmith catalogue about six years ago for close to $5000 - and it was the more common Stamp embossing. The best of the best - $4200, post paid in the US.
