Condition Report:
Overall in very good condition. The porcelain throughout presents with scattered faint surface scratches and light scuffing consistent with age and gentle use. The porcelain surfaces present with scattered losses to the silver geometric decoration, consistent with age and not visually distracting. The plates and cups present with a few small chips concentrated to the base rims and undersides, the largest measuring approximately ¾ in. long. The underside of the centerpiece is applied with four protective felt pads.
