More Information

Excellent overall appearance.
Both stands in good order
Damage to the enclosing vine work around the rear side of one ewer (pieces separated in three places where tiny screws are missing, and held together with twine)
Rim chip to same ewer
The other ewer has a small break to the vine work around the circular foot
Note: when viewed together, one of the socle stems is wider than the other, but this appears to be of original design
