Condition

All items are in excellent condition; no visible chips, cracks, or losses. All items have original firing flaws throughout. The vase captured left in the lot listing has crazing throughout; to the exterior of the body, there is a residue that measures 1/2 inch, possibly a sticker residue. The vase, center in the listing, has crazing begun to form towards the rim. All items have very light wear along the underside, consistent with age and use. When inspected under UV light, none of the items show a sign of restoration. Please contact us for a detailed condition report. Please note that the lack of a condition statement does not imply perfect condition. Email condition@revereauctions.com with any condition questions.
