In overall good condition. The largest wooden shoe has two small shrinkage cracks. One of the lacquered shoes has a small loss to its inside rim. Both of the lacquered boxes have small scattered losses and wear to their painted surfaces. All five exhibit light nicks and abrasions as to be expected with age and use.
