An imposing pair of Japonism inspired vases, H 91 cm

An imposing pair of Japonism inspired vases, polychrome and gilt decorated with parrots and other birds amongst blossoming trees, with gilt bronze mounts, the upper mount assembled, holding an inner mantle in order to create a smaller vase, H 91 cm

Condition: In our opinion, in good to an acceptable condition, with the following remarks:
- The bottom part of both vases is mounted with a wood construction

The vase with the birds:
- The usual wear to the gilt decoration
- The gilt decoration at the neck of both vases was repainted in a rather clumsy way

The vase with the parrots:
- The brass strap to the lip of the vase has not been remounted but is available
- Glaze cracks
- Two chips to the shoulder and a star-shaped crack

The vase with the other birds:
- Cracks and chips situated at the junction of the body and the foot
- Two large cracks situated at the bottom part
