Condition Report: Some nibbles, to the examples. Crazing on the similar vase- although this looks to be intentional. A chip to the rim of one of the vases. One of the Buddhist lion handles has been damaged and is missing the head. Some restoration the rim of one of the vases, with the cracks and glue apparent to the eye, with crude overpainting, the hairline crack into the vase. All would benefit from a clean.
