This pair is in excellent vintage condition for 60-year-old studio art. They display beautiful, uniform surface crazing/checking across the original protective lacquer topcoat. Collectors highly look for this natural patina as absolute proof of age and authentic 1960s factory finish. The paint remains incredibly bright and vivid, with only minor cosmetic wear/tiny paint nips on the base edges as expected with age. No major structural cracks or repairs. Please review all high-resolution photos closely.Shipping & Handling: Chalkware and Extone are very fragile, so this set will be packaged with professional care.
