#149961The slightly larger has a repaired stable, shallow fissure along its lower body/just above the base that extends up to the shoulder. The repair is well done and difficult to see. The other is intact. Both have tiny chips, nicks, and scratches commensurate with age as well as deposits and wear to the pigment. However, the motifs on both are well preserved with nice coloring and clear form.Condition
