A GROUP OF FIVE VIENNA-STYLE PORTRAIT VASES LATE 19TH CENTURY/EARLY 20TH CENTURY

each reserved with a gilt-edged panel painted with a bust-length portrait of a maiden, all with pseudo shield marks and inscribed titles, two with foliate devices obscuring further factory marks, various impressed or inscribed numerals.

The vase on the very right in the catalogue illustration has some very minor rubbing to the gilding on the gilt-edged borders at the right of the portrait panel.The second vase from the right in the catalogue illustration has some very small patches of wear to the enamel on the shoulder of the vase; which is not disfiguring.
