each modeled as Cupid either holding a flaming torch or a bow and quiver of arrows on a square stepped base molded with a flowerhead at each corner. Restored.

The nozzles of both are restored, presumably covering chips and haircracks; however the nozzles are completely oversprayed making it impossible to determine the full extent of the original damage. Cupid with torch: a 1-in. section of the torch at the top is braken an restored back; the flame is restored; there is 1/4-in. chip to the restoration of the nozzle; several very minor pinhead chips to the bottom edge of the base. Cupid with bow and arrows: Apart from the restoration to the nozzle and severl very minor pinhead chips to the bottom edge of the base, generally good condition.
