Condition
Each vessel in overall in good original condition. The glazed surfaces present with very minor rubbing, minor surface imperfections and very light crazing and variation to color, all inherent in the making. On the smallest vase there is a very small flake of glaze loss at the rim, measuring 3/16 in. in width and 1/8 in. in height. Additionally this vase has a hairline crack radiating from the rim towards the center of the vase (approx. ½ in.). This appears to have been sensitively stabilized by a professional and is only visible upon close inspection. The middle vase with an interesting stylized signature to the foot of the vessel, slightly visible in the catalogue illustration. All vases with a richly saturated blue glaze that is very striking when viewed in person.
