antique Bennington parian ware porcelain vases, large blue & white urns w/ molded grapes

Beautiful very old parian ware vases, very large (11" tall) with elaborately molded grapes and grape vine. When I googled these to learn a little more about them, I was a little surprised to see a vase much like this in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

These are NOT of museum quality as they've been loved and occasionally damaged! There are broken / missing pieces to the design, and one vase has an old glued repair at the top rim. Overall, I think these are amazing - I believe they're probably 1830s - 1850s, closing in on 200 years old now.

They're a little dusty, and I have not attempted to clean them at all. I'll leave that up to you, they really would look fine displayed just as they are. After all, even the Met doesn't have a big matching pair like this.
