each wearing a colorful floral-patterned tunic, holding a vessel before him. Minor restoration.
Condition
The shaped oval vessel held by one of the boys is completely oversprayed, probably covering chips or a small break; although it is impossible to determine the exact nature and extent of the damage beneath the spray. One corner of the square vessel held by the other boy has a small firing-related chip. Both have some flaking to the blue enamel.
