condition
condition
Condition is very good with two small chips to the saucer foot rim and a nick to the reverse of the rim. No repair or restoration. Very minor handling wear mainly just to the gilt on the high points on the cup rim. The enamels on the saucer have fired in a bit of a greyish tone in places.
