A pair of Royal Doulton flambe Sung vases, by Charles Noke and Fred Moore, the bases signed FM, 7" £700-900

Although the vases have been catalogued as a pair they are quite different. For example one of the vases has full information to the base - it has the Royal Doulton stamp with Flambe underneath alongwith SUNG down the side of the stamp and both Charles Noke and Fred Moore marks, whilst the other vase just has the Royal Doulton and Flambe stamp with the FM initials. Also the vases vary hugely in their colouring - the vase with complete marks to the base is much bluer inits glaze whilst the other is very green. Both of the vases are in good condition. Neither has any chips or restoration although the bluer of the two does have a hairline crack running from the base up the body of the vase for about 4\". Both vases have quite a few scratches to the glaze which are shown in the additional images.
