The egg is signed by the artist and is a unique addition to any decorative pottery and glassware collection. It is perfect for display or as a thoughtful gift for a loved one. It is a deep purple blue glass outside with a turquoise ball drop inside. The pictures do not do it justice. I couldn't get the true colors to picture so I took pictures with the flash and without. It really is a beautiful piece. I do not see any chips, cracks, crazing or damage to this piece. There is one very very small scratch on the bottom but I had to wet it and enlarge it to get it to show. The bottom feels smooth Don't miss out on the opportunity to own this beautiful piece of art glass. Please email me with any questions you have. Thanks for looking and good luck. And remember, I do refund any shppng over a dollar if I can find a less expensive way to ship your item safely.
