The piece on the left is one of the tougher blues in the HG/Hemingray lineup. This specimen is dark ink blue and the condition is awesome.

The only flaw is a tiny (like 2MM wide) ping/flake on the back side wire rim. There are a bunch (maybe 30 +/-) of tiny white potstones throughout the dome and skirt. The RDP are chip/flake free. This is EIN [090]

For almost mint, first 495.00 gets it post paid.

The dark cobalt on the right is EIN [090]. It is nearly flawless. There is one flea bite on the dome that the point of a pencil would cover.

There is a ¼" wide potstone in the petticoat. Due to differences in the temperature related expansion of the stone and surrounding glass, an internal fracture formed about 3/8" on either side.

Compare this with the one in a recent auction that sold for 825.00!

First 485.00 takes it post paid.
