A pair of sang de boeuf vases 18th/19th century

mounted with gilt-bronze collars and bases

The porcelain is 18th century. The porcelain is in very good condition overall and probably a matched pair as there is a slight difference in shape and the height of the necks and shoulder and spreading foot. Four point glaze star crack (1cm wide ) to the shoulder of one. Minor firing imperfections including pin-hole sized glazed bubbles, glaze crazing and minor glaze scratches. In overall good condiiton. Overall colour is slightly darker and more attractive than in the catalogue photo. Some very minor rubbing to the gilt bronze.
