Condition
Bon état général.
L'un des deux a été restauré sur le couvercle (partie intérieure) et sur un angle et à l'arête de l'ouverture. Son couvercle a sans doute été repris et réduit à une époque ultérieure car il est plus fin et plus petit que le second. Le second a un éclat interne à l'un des angles et un petit éclat d'environ 5 mm à l'ouverture. Le cristal de roche est habité comme visible à l'image et présente de petits et infimes éclats aux arêtes.
Good overall condition.
One of the two has been restored to the cover on the inner side and one corner and around the opening to the base and maybe its top has been slightly reduced since it is smaller in all dimentions to the other. The second one has an internal bruise to two of the top corners and a shallow chip approximately 5 mm wide at the opening to the well. There are other internal rock cristal marks as visible in the catalogue's illustration and numerous pin prick chips to the edges. The unrestored top is thicker and larger.
