The red paint for the flowets/fruit is missing (seems to be common on later trees,
but for these not yet).

All these trees are marbled.

I assume that the tree is green, not blue, and that the white balance of the
photo makes it look a bit odd.

It is green marbled. The good one on the left original under the paint is terra
cotta color.

It looks like the home worker that painted this tree was a bit lazy because of
that colour 😂

I think that it is a fun oddity. I'd pay a bit more than Yorbrick suggested.

The terra cotta is also marbled. Red and white were common colours, so such shades
were common when they used their leftovers for these trees. (That was a good
way to use their "waste", because these trees would be painted anyway.)

Probably 4-5 euros similar to a painted one. The paint can be removed from these
with relatively mild solvents.

If the paint was completely removed you easily could ask 40-50€ for it. Depending
the marbling effect. But don't think it's as easy as previous comment
told about. I've bought a lot with different trees over a month ago and they
can be very labor intensive and for sure not healthy either. The more deeper
surfaces,like your tree has, the longer it takes. Not all trees have same paint,
easiest r the small bushes. But certain trees are a nightmare. You can't
use many biting products as it bites the plastic or wearing the structure. Not
have tried this one yet tho.

At this state it's more called a damaged tree then selling a real rare piece.
So yeah now 5-10€ will be the max you can ask

product the tree starts to get soft...
