Pair of French Vases

Lee Mindel, New York, 2007

Overall good original condition. The surface 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 vase shown on the left of the catalogue illustration with scattered edge chips, the largest visible in the catalogue illustration. The vase on the right of the catalogue illustration with holes to the upper portion of the body as seen in the catalogue illustration. This vase with a scattered edge chips throughout. The lower edge of the foot of the vase with three adjacent chips, the largest measuring 5/8 x ¾ inch. This offering is a well-matched pair with nice nuance to the craquelure finish heightened by very subtle green and blue glaze.
