All pieces show rubbing to the gilt highlights (particularly to the saucer wells which both show some surface scratching). All pieces show the odd small loss to the glaze, the odd small dark speck to the glaze, the odd firing frit, and minor fine surface wear, but no obvious chips, cracks, or restoration. One of the Townsend saucers and the Austin saucer show surface crazing throughout.
