Appearing in overall fairly good, stable, and ready to place condition. One of the vases with chips and small sections of loss to a few of the flower petals.

The finish on the metal flower stems is rubbed and peeling in small areas, not immediately noticeable.

The bases are in good condition.  Condition reports are available upon request. All lots are sold “as is,” in the condition they are in at the time of the auction.
