Maybe the "primo" piece available for your consideration this fine evening is this lovely Brookfield CD 102. Unfortunately, quite difficult to photograph, but these were my best attempt. The piece looks even more delectible in person. Essentially an ordinary [030] Brookfield CD 102 (Dome) [Number] (F-skirt) Brookfield SDP, in a sparkling dark aqua colour, but with quite a hefty amount of amber all throughout. The primary quantity in in the front dome, but that one dark stripe continues down the rear dome and into the skirt, and distributes itself throughout the rear skirt, and all back up into the front and rear dome. It's rather incredible! The swirls are more well defined in person. There is even a small chunk of snow behind the left mould line. The condition is not bad, either. The main damage consists of two base chips on the rear (visible in the photo on the right). Two drips are removed by these chips. The chip on the left is the smaller of the two at 5/16" wide by 1/4", and the larger of the two weighs in at 9/16" wide by 3/8". There are two barely visible flakes on the front base in front of the drip points which do not remove any of the drip point glass, and measure 3/16" and 3/8" respectively. Lastly, visible in the left photo are a series of small fleabites on the dome. Looks like the wire being removed when this piece was finished service might have scratched it. As the photos show, though, the condition is not bad, and it appears even better. Guarenteed to look exquisite in a backlit display or window shelf, I'm asking $25 U.S. plus shipping - a price I guarentee you will be satisfied with if you're looking for a good example of amber swirls for your collection. I accept personal cheques from any member of ICON, or anyone I've dealt with before. All the best!
