Vases not separated from mounts during examination. Light oxidation and wear to patination of metal mounts at top and bottom. Each with scattered glaze craquelure, however, stable. One with small enamel loss to corner with darkened area. Possible losses to feet hidden by mounts and not visible or distracting. Each lamp would benefit from light professional cleaning as there is visible dirt and grime. No other visible damage, loss or repairs.
