Limestone was used more commonly than glass, granite or marble because it was less likely to dull a blade. Limestone is a fine grained stone and defect free for use in the lithography discipline. Definitely a conversation piece or a wonderful plinth or base.

Good overall condition with cosmetic wear due to age and use. Scuffs, scratches, minor chips, circular marks and a minor pressure crack or cut that is just on the exterior and does not affect its structure or stability (see photos).

Approximately 9.88" x 12" x 3" high. See less
