Description from the seller

Old Paterka with a Woman Figure

Elegant, decorative paterka supported on a base in the form of a female figure. A piece of high decorative value.

Details and condition:
The item shows visible signs of age and imperfections.
Glass plate: Preserved in good condition, with a classic radiating pattern and a decorative edge. Visible small utilitarian scratches on the glass surface.
Figure and base: Made of metal (factory silver-plated, patinated). Visible wear of the coating, patina, and darker spots (metal oxidation).
Construction/repairs: On the rear column supporting the structure there are traces of a former repair (soldering) and gaps in the continuity of the column ornamentation (visible in close-up photos).
Base: Visible dents, scratches, and significant wear of the silvering on the lower edge of the base.

The patere, despite its defects, presents itself very elegantly. The photos are an integral part of the description and show the actual condition of the item.
