I bought these from UK and have been waiting for a very long time for them to arrive .I'd contacted the seller this week saying i was getting anxious and even went to the PO to check if they were there and I had not been notified.
This morning being rather wet and dull i decided to clean up my garage . I have mounds of boxes and packing material from things I bought . Low and behold if I do not find aan unopened box it looked battered and warn like most of the ones I was going to throw out .
It was the loong awaited vases . The postie must have put it in there when I was away .Very unusual as they either leave it on my front varandah or leave a not to say pick it up at the post office . needless to say i am very happy that they are here and intact.
Now about the vases :-
They are a true pair meaning that they have mirror images as opposed to just 2 vases with the same image.
Beautifully guilded pheasants on Roccoco scrolls .
Fully marked to both with Harrach marks !
8 " tall they are of milk glass with an applied ( painted ) pink blush to bottom of the vases and a very pale yellow to the top .
Well done, Marty!
Objets re-trouvés!
Lovely! Uranium? The pics give them a faint mint glow?
They might be. I think they might be tinted a yellowish green color to go with the pink. I think it's supposed to be mimicking burmese.
Awesome as usual!
Fabulous!...:-)

No to Uranium.... spose I can't have it all..
The toneing is very pale but could at a glance look a bit Burmese ish...
