This piece is in beautiful condition. At 9.5 inches it is large. The workmanship is of course German. I have found a few of these
on line and they are either in a museum or not to be purchased. This is your chance to add a RARE PIECE to your collection. I purchased this years ago here in San Francisco. It came from a picker who picked it up in
the north bay, I think it was Sonoma. She said a wealthy family
used it for their Christmas parties. It measures 9.5 inches long and a little over 5 inches wide.
There is some light overall wear to the lantern. The lips may have been
over painted. The tissue is in very good shape.
It is in beautiful condition. There are no cracks or serious damage. The
pictures are very clear and should be referenced.
IT IS AN AMAZING PIECE.
shipping is 15.00
