As expected from age and use, there are several areas the coloration has faded; some areas are discolored. The blue plate captured lower center has a minute chip to the rim. The blue plate captured the lower left has minute chips to the rim and a minute loss near the rim; there is another minute loss to the underside. All items have paint accretion to the underside. None of them show a sign of restoration under UV light.
