Condition
The illustration of the catalogue is accurate. Good overall condition despite the inevitable scratches and marks throughout due to age and handling.
Both figures are in good overall condition ; both have two original holes to the back ; one seems to have a small glazing fault to the rim to the back and one of the two holes may have been enlarged but otherwise this lot is highly decorative and in pretty good condition.
A few porcelain flowers are missing. The gilding is tarnished as expected.
