Meiji period, late 19th century.
The condition is generally correct. However, they both have vertical incisions at the base, as if someone had once wanted to remove a piece of metal (which fortunately did not succeed!), perhaps in order to make lamps??...
One of the two also has a very slight indentation at the base of the belly, barely visible to the eye, which caused a tiny crack visible only from the inside, in the light (see last photo).
Sold in pairs. Given the weight, a shipment is to be estimated, in addition, depending on distance.
Height = 30 and 30.2 cm
Diameter at the neck = 11 cm; at the belly = 20 cm; at the base = 13.5 cm
Weight for the pair = 4.600 kg
Shipping will be in addition.
