Condition Report
Both in overall fairly good and stable condition. With light surface debris in crevices and some scattered small instances of loss to glaze. Having a very small chip to the foot of one example. Examination under UV light evidences retouch to the mouth/opening of both jars. One with several additional areas to the center of the body (at edges) where patches glow under UV light and evidence retouch, the other with fewer areas. None of these areas of retouch are immediately noticeable under natural light. Additional images available upon request.
