vase h. 24-1/2", dia. 9", stand h. 18", dia. 11"

Provenance: The Estate of Bonnie Bolding Swearingen, Birmingham, Alabama.

One vase is in very good condition with no losses or cracks; the other vase has a spiderweb-form crack to its bottom that has been "stabilized" with silicon caulk. Both vases have some minute loss/rubbing to green pigment in one or two of the painted leaves. The stand bottoms are not glazed; they, therefore, have some rough edges, glazes slips, and abrading/"flea-bite" chips to their bottom edges. Crazing to glaze to present throughout with breaking and scratching of glaze on stand tops due to friction with vase. One stand has a 5-1/2" partial hairline crack that extends upward from the vase base that lightly cracks the glaze along the fissure and has caused a small loss/chip to glaze.
