Bidding ended. Lot has been sold.

The lot appears to be in good overall condition. There are expected minor losses throughout to the encrusted decoration - in particular to the foliage, fingers, feet, fruit, flowers, and scrolling. All vases have some cement joining the bodies to the stands - this may be from production.

The vase decorated with cherries and strawberries has more significant losses than the others, one handle is missing, as are the ears of wheat to the base.

Some rubbing to decoration and enamels throughout. 

All damage has been extensively photographed; these images are available upon request.
