These highly decorative vases present very well overall.

The brass rims and interios with light tarnish and traces of old stickers
There are a few areas of 'speckling' and minor divots to the enamel in the making. The blue ground with variations in tone, which also almost certainly in the making.
There are some small dents, short cracks, and chips with associated infill and crazing, primarily along the vertical brass stringing and base edge. One vase with areas of restoration to the base of the green neck where it meets the body.
