The planters appearing in overall fairly good and ready to place condition. All three exhibit scattered pitting to the porcelain consistent with production. There is dirt and debris to the interior of all planters from past use. 

The rectangular planter exhibiting surface scratches to the glaze and areas of loss to the glazed finish along the edges and at the projecting lions at either side. There are two cracks to the interior of the planter, not extending the full depth and not visible from the exterior. This example with drilled drainage holes to the underside. 

The taller of the dragon planters with a hairline crack at the lip and a small chip, does not appear to impact stability. 

The smaller dragon planter having a few negligible surface scratches.
