Condition

The items are in fair condition overall with no major chips, cracks, or losses that affect the overall piece. All items show wear, crazing, and soiling throughout, as shown in the lot listing; wear to the underside, consistent with age and use. As expected from age, there are several areas where the coloration has faded. All items show light original firing flaws. Six plates have paint accretion along the underside, possibly original. Four plates have minute losses to the glaze. Three plates have an adhesive residue to the underside- the length ranging from 1/4 inch to 1 inch. Two plates have minute chips to the rim. The plate (far left in the top row in the lot listing) has a 2 1/2 inch crack to the center of the underside; there is a 5 1/2 inch hairline crack near the footrim. The plate (far right in the top row in the listing) has a chip to the exterior, which measures 1 1/4 inches. The yellow plate (second from the right in the second row) has a chip to the rim, which measures 3/4 inch. None of the items show visible signs of restoration under UV light.
