More Information

There is age-related staining and wear marks to the rims, bases and interiors. The exterior appears to be ok. Minor age-related fading to the enamels and minor crazing holes to areas on both. Only very minor losses to the enamels on the foot area of both. Repair probably to one vase on the foot as there is a visible soldered area.
