An assembled pair of Théodore Deck faïence turquoise-glazed vases circa 1880

each decorated in relief around the neck, body and base with Chinese motifs and Greek key pattern, incised TH monogram.

The one on the right in the catalogue illustration is in good condition apart from some touch ups / restored areas along the footrim, where the glaze has been flaked or chipped. The other vase appears to have broken on the lower section and restored back; the restoration extends to all adjacent areas and to the whole interior of the vase, making it difficult to determine if there are more breaks. There is some very minor and occasional chipping to the upper rim and footrim.
