All the bowls have tiny nicks on a the low points of the ruby flashing between the hexagons, a common issue to the design. The master bowl has a ruby stained small chip of the tip of a small point between the larger scallops, indicating it could be as manufactured. The berry bowls (except 1) have some roughness on the top rims, likely from stacking. The ruby stain is excellent on the master bowl with minimal marks and scratches. The ruby on the berry bowls ranges from good to excellent on the berry bowls as seen in the photos. The cuts and monogram are excellently done with great precision and minimal errors. There are no notable scratches from use or storage on the interiors or exteriors. The bottoms have slight shelf wear. The glass is wonderfully clear and has a light glow under UV light on the clear areas.
It's a beautiful set with a wonderful cut sharply contrasted by the ruby stain. It will make a great addition to an EAPG collection or on it's own.
