This piece struck me as odd when I first saw it, ... very pale in color, but after a light scrub it became apparent that this has a subtle mixing of clear and blue-aqua going on. I stuck it in some water and it was more obvious, but you can see it in the side dome areas in this photo. Has a couple small flakes off the upper wire groove at the sides, some light steam, and some really cool open bubbles along the base as shown. An oddity for the specialist. $12 + postage.
