Each vase has a castle scene in the center surrounded with a wreath of flowers and vines. Fine bands of gold decoration encircle the diameter of the top and base of each vase and also accent the decoration at the top and bottom of the pear-shaped bowl. The opposite site of each vase has a small sprig of leaves in a reddish-pink color. I estimate these vases date to the mid to late 19th century.   DIMENSIONS:  Approximately 10-1/4 inches in height; 4 inches in diameter at the top rim; 3-1/4 inches at the base.   CONDITION:  I have examined each vase very carefully and there are no chips, cracks, damage or repairs. There is some very slight loss of the gold band decoration around the top of one vase and some slight wearing of the paint on one of the trees. This is detailed in the third photo. For some reason, there is a lack of detail on the castle of one vase and this is detailed in the fourth photo.   PAYMENT TERMS: I prefer payment by PayPal but will also accept a personal check or money order. Payment is expected within seven (7) days of auction end. Please contact me within 48 hours of auction end to let me know your method of payment and when it will be sent. If you pay via Paypal within 48 hours, that covers this requirement.   SHIPPING: I try to ship within two days of receipt of payment, usually by USPS Priority Mail or Parcel Post unless another shipping method is requested. All charges, including insurance and delivery confirmation, are included in your shipping costs unless the listing specifies free shipping. I usually sell fragile items such as pottery and glass and take great care in packing, using many layers of packing material and mailing inside a thick-walled Styrofoam container. Using this method, I have never had an item arrive at its destination in less than the condition as described in the auction listing. I gladly combine shipping for purchase of multiple items.  I will not ship outside the Continental U.S.     If you have any questions or concerns, please email me prior to bidding.  Thank you for your interest in my auction.  email me any questions   Check out my other items!
