Condition

Overall in good condition. Each has been examined under blacklight and shows no evidence of prior restoration. Three of the vases with minor surface abrasions consistent with use. The Plathus vase, which is blue and cylindrical in form, with a stable hairline crack extending from the rim approximately 1 1/8 inches in length. A very nice assembled set of vases showing great variation in coloration and form.
