You won't believe your eyes on this one! Yes, a nice sized piece of wire runs from the top of dome down to the wire groove and then turns and runs with the wire groove and then turns and goes about half way down the skirt. I bought this onenot too long ago and then decide to sell the 102 collection to make room to collect 143 Montreals and Canadian Bostons. This is a light aqua piece which greatly aids in seeing the wire. The wire almost is exposed at the lower wire rim. Ther is an imperfection in the base where a small underpour creates a diagonal line. There is one base chip. On the upper wire rim there may be a wire rub..it is a little rough.
