Condition
Overall in very good original condition. Each of the vases with a few tiny air bubble and particulate inclusions inherent in the making. The rims of the two vases each with a few minute flecks and a few shallow surface scratches to the exterior consistent with gentle use. The etched and frosted geometric design is in excellent shape on each piece. The underbases shows shallow surface scratches from normal wear.
