In decent, stable condition overall. With a hairline crack spanning approximately three-quarters of the plate. Some areas of discoloration and pitting to the white ground consistent with age. Some instances of surface rubbing and loss to the enameled decoration, which is generally intact and bright. Minor area of black discoloration to the right of the coat-of-arms. Examination under UV light reveals an area of repaired loss to the edge of the hairline crack on the underside.
