06.19.25: In my opinion regarding LOT 2637: I note that all vases are intact, standing comfortably on the foot, close visual and UV light examinations are unremarkable and do not reveal evidence of restoration, hairlines/ fractures, or chipping, I observe some sparse minor firing flaws at the interior of neck, as well as typical minor iron pitting, and rubs to the gilt elements commensurate with age and use
