Condition

One vase is just about perfect except for light rubbing of the gold. The other vase appears to be in the same condition but has had one vertical hair line consolidated which is nearly impossible to see.

Next Piece

Fine Japanese Tall Cup and Saucers

Admittedly I know little about Japanese porcelain but I can spot quality when I see it. There is one cup or beaker and two saucers of eggshell thin porcelain. The painting over the glaze is sharply delineated with rich colors and gold. I believe it dates from the 2nd half of the 19th century.
