More Information

One of the bottles has broken around the neck in several places, and has been re-glued. There are some small chips still missing. The other bottle is in good order, no cracks, chips or losses. Both show light scratching and wear commensurate with age and use.

The stand has some denting to the pierced borders of the stands and to the high-points of the central shaft. One of the feet is slightly bent out of shape, and has split at the base. The stand shows moderate scratching and wear commensurate with age and use.
