More Information

All pieces show the odd firing pit or frit, surface scratching and minor rubbing to the gilt highlights. The majority show some rubbing and wear to the decoration, which appears to be in most cases the result of stacking. Four plates show hairline cracks. One chows a chip to the rim. One shows a chip to the rim and stained surface crazing throughout. Two others show surface crazing throughout. Several plates are extremely dirty and all would benefit from cleaning.
