Provenance: Estate of Daniel A. Glaser, New Orleans, Louisiana.

The handles of the WMF vases are dented inwards. One of the legs of the hot water urn is detached from the body. Wear to the copper/base metal on some pieces, most notably the urn and navette-form center bowl. Finial of the tea/sugar box is a pale yellow metal; the original steel key is present. Glass elements good. No pieces marked except those where the makers are noted.
