Condition

Overall in very good condition. When viewed under blacklight, none of the vases show evidence of prior restoration. This is a wonderful assembled group showing significant variation in Stalhane’s designs for Rorstrand. Two of the vases with minor surface abrasions. Each of the forms shows the attention and detailing to the glaze work that characterize the work of Stalhane. With a delicate scale, each of the pieces is a unique expression of the artist’s abilities.
