*****Some photos were taken with a flash, therefore a slight difference in color appears in photos. Your device may show colors differently than what they really are. Probably no two devices will show colors exactly the same. On my device, the first photo here shows the color closest to the actual shade.
Pair of beautiful mantel lusters. Striking blue color makes quite a statement. Long, facet cut spear prisms reflect the light beautifully. The blue color is accented with gilt accents, top and bottom. Amazingly, very little of the gilt has been rubbed off. If I look closely, there are some areas with less gilt here and there, but mostly intact. The design on the base is very pretty, resembles hearts. The top of the piece has a delicate ruffled like edge that is also gilt trimmed.

The long prisms are quite impressive by themselves, with facets and pointed spear like tips. The smaller prism at the top is not a small piece either. These large pieces have an emerald like cut. As shown in the photos, a few of the prisms are missing. See details below and in photos. Select a photo to see images in Super Size format for better viewing of details.

The pieces are very clean and ready to be enjoyed or displayed. I cleaned the prisms very well also.

No chips, cracks or crazing of the blue glass. I examined them closely with a black light. No damage was seen and no evidence of any repairs in the past. The glass shows green (not the same green as Vaseline glass) under the black light and the prisms looked golden. As mentioned above, a few of the prisms are no longer with the set. 1 long prism is a bit smaller, width and length. I see one of the small upper prisms is a different size also. I didn't even realize these were not all the same size until I was cleaning  and really inspecting them. The tiny wires that hold these prisms on the glass are getting rusty looking and some are pretty fragile. At least a few have broken off and will need to be replaced or you could replace the entire prism piece with the wires included.
**1 piece is missing 1 long prism. The second piece is missing 3 long prisms and 1 upper round prism. Approx. 4 of the  spear tips have tiny chips or "flea bites". I saw a couple of "nicks" out of the glass on the back side of a couple prisms. I tried to find and mention any and all issues. I may have missed something small, but I believe I've covered most of it. These prisms can all be replaced. I see them online for purchase in many different sizes.

The inside of the pieces are hollow. It appears that over the years, small items have been dropped into the top. When cleaning them, I found tiny metal hooks, pieces of old leaves, unidentifiable objects, etc. These items were lodged in the very bottom. There is a small tube like space that makes it difficult to get these things out now. The metal pieces I discovered inside are rusted and falling apart. I can still see dark areas in the bottom when I hold them up to bright light. Under normal viewing, you would never know there is anything in the bottoms. Should not be an issue.
Much care will be given to packing for shipping. Prisms will all be removed for safer shipping.
