Condition Report
Each cover and neck with pierced holes, most likely to attach metal collars and locking clasps. Other than that one cover is in good condition whilst the other cover has a broken rim with some losses, the interior rim with sections missing and numerous rivet repairs (see online images). One vase has a 6cm long x 4cm high replaced chip, but is otherwise in good order. The other vase has been broken in numerous places and glued back together (see online images), but apart from a small 1cm triangle of missing porcelain, the vase itself is almost completely intact.
