Provenance: The Estate of Frank Fasullo, New Orleans, Louisiana.
Dimensions: 8.25 x 20.5 x 4.5 in
Condition Report: **In overall very good condition. The "set" is not exactly matching; the pair of ewers have been reglazed with a two-toned phthalo green/umber glaze, whereas the covered urn is a two-toned phthalo green/cobalt glaze. All three center bronze mounts (hippocampus and seahorses are affixed by "sticky" tape. There is an ~1/4" overglazed crack to vase shoulder on one ewer just under the bronze mount. All three examples appear to have been regilded.
