- 20cm., 7 7/8 in.
each tall square-sectioned form painted with formal scroll below gilt banding and white dotted borders, set on four splayed feet, gilt rim
Condition
The gilding is typically rubbed on the top rims but this is not too obvious. One side of one vase has a shallow 40mm diagonal scratch to the exterior, just below the centre of the panel. The other vase has a 3cm vertical scratch to the interior of one side, below the ornamental enamelled border. Otherwise both vases are generally in good condition.
