the picture in in full sunlight outdoors, but shows a tad darker than reality. This one has a very few assorted fleabites, a tiny 3/8" ping to the dome, and an annealing crack in the inner skirt. For a new collector, this is a perfect example of an annealing crack, the glass literally pulled slightly apart as it cooled and formed the fissure. Interesting! Displays beautifully. I'm not sure whether to call this steel blue or delft blue, so let's price it at $30 shipt to the lower 48. PayPal gleefully accepted. REDUCED TO $20
