Condition Report
Each example is enormously heavy and probably weighs 500 pounds each for the urn on its base.
Wear and surface discoloration commensurate with age, use, and having lived outside for several decades. Dirt and residue throughout consistent with use. Multiple layers of paint are visible and the most recent layer of white paint is starting to flake and separate. Between the current white paint is a cream colored paint. Few cracks associated to casting, but none that cause any structural concern.
Note that the published photograph shows one urn reproduced four times. Between the four urns there are subtle variations in patina, discoloration and small amounts of paint loss. Please request a complete condition report.
