Provenance:
Christie's, New York, 26 October 1995, Lot 114
Each example in stable, attractive, ready-to-place condition. One example lacking one of the applied foliate appliques to base body of vase. Each example with a filled repair running from shoulder to base of body, possibly from production. Each example with a small circular porphyry "plug" above one of the foliate elements on the base of the body, not visible unless viewed very closely and in the proper light. A few other scattered small chips to ribs of fluting, does not detract from overall aesthetic. One lid with a small area of fill to rim. One of the vases with two very tight cracks around mouth, does not appear to be part of a larger break/fissure. Additional images available upon request.
