CONDITION
The pair of vases is in overall good condition. Inspection under UV shows fluorescence around the courting figures with the woman dressed in the blue skirt and man with yellow under jacket. The star design on the base shows a crack that has been repaired, only visible under UV. Fluorescence is visible above the woman’s head dressed in a yellow dress with a man in a red under jacket.
