Condition
The illustration of the catalogue is accurate. The gilding is slightly rubbed and tarnished. One bottle is in good overall condition. The other bottle has been broken in few pieces and glued (around approx. 5 x 5 cm.). This bottle would benefit from a restoration to hide the cracks. Nice objects, very decorative.
