Condition
The illustration of the catalogue is accurate. The gilding is rubbed and tarnished. The imari porcelain is in good condition with some minor surface scratches and rubbed gilt elements, but one cover has an important chip which needs to be restored (approx. 3 x 1,5 cm.) and an hairline crack. One ring element and the knop of the same cover need to be refixed. Very decorative pair of pots-pourris vases.
