CONDITION -
Overall, this set remains in very good to excellent condition with a gentle patina of age. Light crazing to many pieces, light scratches, a few traces of knife marks on the meat platters, a few very small areas of glaze loss, a few small areas of discoloration, etc. Also, it is manufactured using more 'handmade' processes than today, and you may see areas of glaze smudging, glaze spots, bubbles under the glaze as is normal for transferware and part of the vintage charm of the items. With the exception of a few minor flaws (see pictures!) everything is in excellent condition and remarkably well preserved for its age of 150+ years - all pieces in the service remain usable and will display well for years to come.

The set includes:
- 8 x soup plates (22.5 cm diameter height 3.5 cm). All in excellent condition, a few small areas discoloration on some plates with light crazing
- 8 x dinner plates (23.2 cm diameter height 2 cm). All in excellent condition, a few small areas discoloration to the underside of some plates with light crazing.
- 2 x small oval 'ravier' serving dishes (24.25cm x 12cm x H4cm) in excellent condition
- 1 x oval platter (36.5cm x 23.5cm x H 3cm) very good condition, one shallow glaze scrape to the rim, approx. the size of a sunflower seed.

Overall a great set to use, display and enjoy - an exquisite set to treasure for a lifetime and beautiful way to add some authentic French antique charm to your life!
