Description

  • PORCELAIN
each reserved with an oval gilt-edged landscape panel and affixed on either side with a ram's head handle. 6 pieces.

Condition

Bough pots: Both are lacking their covers. One has one of the triangular sections in the interior to hold the cover broken off. There is some old residue that gives a stained appearance to the yellow ground, which will require professional cleaning. Spill vases: Some very minor occasional wear to the gilding. Sugar bowl and cover: Some very minor occasional wear to the gilding. There is an approximate 1/2-inch flat chip to the interior of the cover, which is not visible from the exterior.
