Each with loose elements (the medallions, the feet) that could be tightened and adjusted with minor repairs. The medallions having some chips in the blue around the edges. Chenets are not able to stand on their own due to the misaligned/loose feet. Minor areas of uneven patina. Additional photos available upon request.
