Condition
In overall very good condition with no visible repairs or significant losses. There is a surface chip to the
glaze on one vase neck. On the the other vase, there is a "fleabite" chip to the corner edge of one foot
rim. The rim on the inside of one lid has three innate firing fissures that are spherical in shape (fissures do
not extend through rim). There is a glaze skip, not chip, to the edge of one foo-dog foot. Both vases
exhibit some minor wear/rubbing to the gilding on the rims and handles.
