There are numerous scattered chips to more than one-half of the plate rims, many of which have been lightly sanded and attractively over-painted with gilt. There are also a handful of hairline and spiderweb- form cracks to them. As for the saucers and tea and demitasse cups, six saucers have chips, one has a hairline "spiderweb" crack and two demitasse cups have hairline cracks.
