Including but not limited to the following:

No signs of restoration when examined under UV light. The silver rims on the mouth and foot on each vase a little tarnished. Hardly any wear. One vase with a few minor short surface scratches on the undecorated ground between the flowers on the reverse but scarcely noticeable. Each vase very good overall condition and excellent presentable order.
