Condition
Very decorative. Pitting from firing to surface of both cells and black ground on both. One with mark below enamel.
Surface has been waxed and re-polished.
The underside of each with a blue ground against three frogs. This is a very rough surface and one wonders if there were issues during firing. Having said that these are stable and look good. Both these chargers are 'ready to place'.
