09/23/2026: In my opinion regarding LOT : 3211- please note that I am not an expert on such vases, the pair is impressive in scale, both stand stable and sturdy, displaying a rich cobalt-blue glaze with subtle mottling and tonal variations (in my opinion, reminiscent of lapis),  a UV light examination of one vase reveals differing yellow-green fluorescence across the upper section above the first metal collar, possibly indicating prior professional restoration, although this is difficult to discern, I have taken numerous images for your review, the metal rim on this vase sits slightly askew, with visible adhesive noted at some of the other metal mounts, I further note several fine surface scratches and a small glaze flake at upper vase, the second vase displays a more consistent reaction under UV light, both vases exhibit linear markings and variations within the glazed surfaces, some of which appear to be beneath the glaze, along with light abrasions, surface wear and minor imperfections to the porcelain, the gilt-metal mounts display a mellowed patina with rubs, minor surface imperfections and possible areas of gilt touchup, the decorative mounts appear largely present, although some small losses to the beaded and ornamental elements cannot be excluded, please refer to the numerous images provided for additional views of the glazed surfaces, mounts and UV examination, in my opinion, the pair present with a commanding presence
