Condition Report:
There a couple of old shallow chips to the rim one of dish (the largest 0.6 x 0.5 cm approx) and the other smaller next to it, and a small restoration to the other side of the rim (1 by 0.7 cm). The other dish is in generally in good condition with possibly some light polishing on the rim. Both have scratches to the glaze on the underside and firing imperfections, expected wear to the interiors, but overall they are in great condition for dishes of this size.
Nice large dishes, rare, and with a very interesting, quite well preserved decoration.
