The vases have been examined under black light and show no evidence of prior restoration. The glazed surfaces present with a few minor irregularities and burst air bubbles inherent to the material. The overall surface with a few light shallow scratches and minor surface dirt consistent with age and gentle use. The interior of one of the vases presents with some irregularities in the glaze around the base. Two spectacular vases of large scale and vibrant color.
