Both have been repaired at the neck, rim, and rest of the body from multiple pieces. This includes some very small areas of restoration with added clay and overpaint. Repairs are well done, and, particularly on the exterior, nearly invisible. One has the remains of an old newspaper stuck to its repair lines on the interior of the neck. Small signs of wear commensurate with age. Nice craquelure.
