A pair of Derby porcelain Empire style vases, circa 1815, in the Imari palette heightened with gilding, with moulded foliate scroll cap handles and all upon a square foot, red painted mark to the underside and numbered 14 and further numbered to the foot in blue 58. Height 23 cm. CONDITION REPORT: Both vases have been damaged. All four handles have been off and re-glued and overpainted. Both vase have probably been detached from the bases at the narrow part of the vase where the gilt line is on the socle. This line has been repainted on both vases. The main bodies of both vases appear to be in generally good order. Both vases have rubbing to the gilding particularly around the proud parts of the top rim and base.
