[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 400382, member: 5833"]You're on fire. Have to be same maker but aren't quite the same. The heads of the swan neck handles on this pair are detached. The shape of these seems more squat than journey's piece, although maybe there's some distortion in the photos? Disagreement whether spelter or bronze. The gilding brings out some details I hadn't spotted. And of course the second vase has a different set of figures.
