The color is magnificent. Tough one to come by and a great piece to add to a collection. On the back side of the dome there is what I think was an open bubble 1/8" x1/4". It has some flaking on the edges. right adjacent to it is a tiny chip about 1/8'x1//8". At the base of the skirt (also on the back side) is a very small flake, about the same size as the tiny chip. Price guide says $400 to $500. I expect to see it move quickly at $235 and that includes the shipping.
