Physical Description: Colorless lead-free float glass with a natural green tint; ground, bent over a mold, probably hot-worked, ground, and polished. Small, asymmetrical Z-shaped table, formed from a single curved sheet of glass; oval horizontal top; a narrow strip curves downward from one long side of the top and then straightens as the sides flare out; this "back" slopes away from and under the top and then extends beyond it. The wide base of the back has two long, narrow recesses (with rounded ends) that extend from the base edge approximately halfway down the back and are parallel to the flared sides. These openings allow the narrow triangular section between them to be bent back in the opposite direction, creating the third of three slanted "feet" on which the table rests; all edges are beveled, ground, and polished.
