Both vases have losses to gilding which has been rubbed. Both have craquelure to the vessels.
One vase has loss of varnish to the body and is not glossy like the other one. The decoration is not as refined suggesting overpainting.
There appears to be significant restoration to the body in several places with over painting. The foot of the vase may have been broken and over painted.
The ribbon appears to have been broken in places and repaired with some serious losses and discolouration to the gilding.
The other vase has repairs to one ribbon at the top and losses to bottom
There has been a restoration to the base where it appears to have been split in two at one point which is obvious from the top and bottom. The glue has discoloured to the base (evident from beneath)
