The metal mounted handles are not firmly attached and are prone to movement, which has resulted in some associated surface scratching around the handles. Both vases show typical wear to the gilding in places and occasional minor flaking to the raised gilded cartouches. Some minor firing imperfections (most visible on the neck of one of the vases), occasional typical minor surface scratching to the glaze and age related scratching and wear to the gilt metal mounts.
