Each appears to be in generally good, undamaged condition; no apparent rim chips, hairline cracks, stain discoloration, etc.; there is evidence of rubbing and wear to some of the decoration and gilding on the plate centers, commensurate with age and use; some plates have some roughness on the underside caused by particles in the making, not of any real consequence.
