Condition
Characteristic of the period, the two bottles are not an identical pair and one is potted slightly differently than the other. One vase is in good condition and the other has a small restored frit and a short crack to the rim. Both with appropriate wear, small firing tears to base and minor imperfections consistent with age and type.
