each bud vase appears to be in generally good condition; each with typical wear/rubbing to gilt patina, commensurate with age, usage and handling; the smaller example has greater wear and rubbing to its gilding; the smaller example also appears to have a horizontal firing stress line through the left facing side of its pierced rim edge, apparently, in the making; the larger example has a small nick to the rim edge on the front side and one or two other small, barely discernible dings
