(pair) German Dresden porcelain urn, 19th c., decorated throughout with hand-painted floral spray, parcel-gilt accents, flanked by gilt scroll handles, terminating on stepped square base, asterisk symbol Dresden stamped underfoot, minute chip to one foot, one rim with minor hairline at edge, approx 14.5"h, 8.75"w, 6.5"d, 11lbs total **Provenance: The estate and interior design collection of Gay Ratliff (Martha Gay Kokernot Ratliff, Austin, Texas, 1942-2023)**

6.15.25-In my opinion regarding LOT: 2329- the pair are highly reflective, making them difficult to photo, any white on the surface that you see, is simply glare/reflection from the overhead lights, the pair stand sturdy and are overall intact, a UV light examination reveals only a very minor hairline to the rim lid of one lid, minor and mostly only visible from the interior with UV light, there is small minute chip at the corner of one pedestal foot, see images, otherwise I observe only some scattered typical and minor wear to paint, the pair would benefit from a gentle cleaning as are a few spots of wax? residue (easily removed), all mentioned minor and commensurate with age
