Largest bowl with professional repair and restoration, and resurfacing with overpainting along new material and break lines; remaining 3 vessels are intact. Each with light abrasions, minor fading to pigment, and small nicks mostly along rims and bases, otherwise in nice condition. Great preservation to original motifs. Each vessel with a previous inventory label beneath base.
