The photograph is a little too bright. On one vase, the cover was broken and well restored (not distracting). On the other vase, the cover was broken and restored but two tiny pieces are missing on the edge. On the same vase, the corner of the base was broken and well restored (not distracting). Very decorative, nice size.
