Condition Report
The pair of French vases both have issues, one has been poorly and obviously restored, its partnering vase has a large rim to almost footrim hairline crack and is losing the blue ground on the exterior by the handles and around both gilt metal rims. One cover appears fault free whilst the other has obvious glued breaks.
Only the urn is marked with entwined "L" marks to the underside of the cover, which has been broken and restored, it is also missing its finial. The body of the urn is generally in good order but there is some crazing by one handle (see images)
