Each vase is in basic good and stable condition. No significant chips or cracks are noted. One example has a small area which is slightly uneven and could be an area of restoration, but there is no evidence visible to the interior of it having been restored. The glaze is bright, with some areas of soiling; there is dust and debris to the interiors. The molded details around the necks have somewhat uneven gilding. The stands are sturdy and can easily support the weight of the vases. The gilding is bright, probably recently done, with scattered scuffs and losses. Attractive presentation overall.Condition reports are available upon request. All lots are sold “as is,” in the condition they are in at the time of the auction. The physical condition of lots can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration. Prospective buyers are strongly advised to inspect a lot personally or through a knowledgeable representative prior to bidding. The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections, or the effects of aging. Prospective buyers must review and agree to the Conditions of Sale before participating in an auction, and it is the responsibility of the buyer to ensure that they have requested, received and considered any condition report.
