The figural detailing remains crisp and structurally sound. Both original heavy glass inkwells are structurally solid with no major cracks or heavy chipping, and the brass dome lids feature smoothly functioning pin hinges.Please note a unique historical detail: the two clear glass bases feature different molded finishes on their bottom surfaces—one is a textured hobnail/grid pattern and the other is smooth flat glass. They share identical outer square measurements, sit completely flush and stable inside the recessed metal compartments, and maintain perfect visual symmetry when displayed with the lids closed. less
