Overall in good decorative order. These were originally mounted on ormolu bases as there is traces of old glue to the base of both of the porcelain tubs. One example with one corner broken out and restuck with some small areas of loss along the break, and one crack running across the upper part of the painted flower decoration. This damage needs to be consolidated. The same example with one of the ormolu branches broken. The ormolu with some tarnish consistent with age. The ormolu branches and ormolu base are not fixed to the porcelain tubs and can be removed. Some of the ormolu leaves are missing, and one stem has been restored. Overall the flowers with some small chips and losses to the petals, and some examples possibly replaced.
