Condition
Overall very good condition. Old trace of glue to one lid finial. Very minor losses to enamel jewels on both vases. One gilt-bronze base will need to be more properly mounted to the quatre-foil ceramic base as it does not sit properly. The casting and chasing is of high quality. Original gilding but with the usual tarnishing. Lids are not detachable.
