07.02.25: In my opinion regarding LOT 1405: I note that both vases are intact, the painted and enameled decoration being overall well-preserved and free from notable loss, having some typical light rubs commensurate with age and use, as does the gilded finish, there is typical minute iron pitting and some inherent crazing, additionally I do not observe hairlines/ fractures or chipping, UV light examination does not reveal evidence of restoration, only fluorescence observed arises from the crazing
