Nice original patina to bronze. Some verdigris and calcium deposits along the rim from use. Glass elements with manufacture lines. Two glass elements with very small tight cracks to the corner on each. One with a very small linear flake to a corner. One section having some minute gaps between the bronze and edge of the tile. Insert with verdigris and calcium deposits and general signs of use. The insert is slightly out of round. Having several dents to the bottom of pan and missing one of the ring handles. This example may be missing a bottom cover plate, although there are no signs of discoloration to the patina that reveal to us that there ever was one. Other examples that we have seen with a bottom cover plate have been stamped directly on the plate with the maker's marks and model number, while this example is signed on the rim of the base.
