Condition
Overall in very good condition. Each of the vases with inconsistencies to surface and color inherent in the making. The under bases of all with expected scratches from use. The large grey vessel with three large burst air bubbles to the rim and one larger burst air bubble to the body measuring approximately ½ inch in diameter located one and half inches below the rim. The long canoe-shaped vase with three burst air bubbles to the interior black glazed area also inherent in the making and rough to the touch. Surface dirt. Overall a wonderful group of varying forms with an elegant simplicity.
