I have a GORGEOUS old bird up for sale here. Light gray purple Hemingray 9 with some decent purple swirling. I would say this piece is VNM. The only "issues" are 3 open bubbled drip points, but I do not consider that damage. Some very light nibbling on a part of the base. $175 SHIPPED to your door! You will not be disappointed! Do not hesitate to ask for more pictures! Thank you!
