A pair of Canton enamel vases, Qing, 19th century, the flared rim above gilt shi-shi handles and chilong, painted with panels of figures, 45.2cm high
Condition report: One vase has a chip to the underside of the rim from which issues a 3cm hairline crack and an edge chip repair. This vase also has a couple of enamel losses within the decoration, some colours appear washed out. The other vase has fine hairline cracks to the rim and body. Both bases have been over sprayed, possibly disguising where they may have been drilled to accommodate a light fitting. Regardless of the faults, both vases are very much structurally sound and together. Faults are available to view in the online images.
