Condition

The illustration is accurate. Good overall condition despite the inevitable minor scratches and marks due to age and use. Some porcelain flowers are missing. Both birds are in good overall condition with the exception of one flake to the top of the head of one just above the beak and two small flakes to the blue forehead and another small flake to the back of the head of the other one. The gilding is slightly tarnished. Very decorative pieces.
