Condition Report
Upon close inspection, there appears to have been some very good restoration to the rim of one vase. This is not visible under UV or by the naked eye, however shining a bright torch from the interior shows there is a V shaped chip which looks to have been restored, together with apparent associated hairlines. This vase also has a tiny nibble to the underside of one corner of the base.
