Condition
This group is finely made and presents well overall. Each item has small, scattered losses to the gilt that do not detract from the overall presentation. One ewer has a very small patch of what appears to be latex house paint on the center medallion. The socle of the urn was broken horizontally and has been professionally repaired. The inpainting done by the restorer is visible on close inspection.
