Condition Report

One vase is slightly loose from its bolt to the pedestal base and can rotate freely. No signs of any cracks, chips, damages or repairs. Needs cleaning - some tightly packed dust has collected around the relief frieze.
One base simply impressed 'Wedgwood', the other 'WEDGWOOD MADE IN ENGLAND'. Please see images.
