Small conical bowl glass - expected signs of wear visible to the foot rim; there are some minute nicks to the foot rim and mouth rim, which can be felt with a fingernail. Ovoid bowl glass with swags of polished ovals - some minor nibbles to the edges of the facet cup stem; some minute nicks to the mouth rim, which can be felt with a fingernail; few signs of wear to the foot rim.
