Condition
In overall good conserved condition. Some pitting to the base of one and general pitting to gilt-bronze. On one vase around the rim of the porcelain body some glaze is lacking showing the white ground but this is not too noticeable and possibly the gilt-bronze rim can be adjusted to cover it. One vase with a flat chip to the inside of the rim, possibly as a result of the mount.
