Condition

Overall very good original condition. The surfaces with a few minor irregularities, including minute burst air bubbles, inherent to the material and production. With light surface dirt to interior from gentle use. The smaller vase on the left of the catalogue illustration with a small glaze imperfection to the outer rim, which is inherent in the production. The interior of this vase with a brown and black glaze. The taller vase with a pale blue glazed interior. Both some wonderful painterly details in the glazework throughout.
