The illustration of the catalogue is accurate. Good overall condition. The mounts : the gilding is very slightly rubbed and tarnished with minor stains. The porcelain : one vase with a vertical haircrak running from top to base on one side and two restored small chips on top rim hidden under gilt-bronze. Both vases with minor wears to the gilding and minor scratching to the glaze. As stated in the catalogue, the lids are missing. Elegant chasing and unusual green porcelain.
