Condition is very good; there is a very small rim chip that has been retouched (see final photographs) and several firing cracks to the edge, a couple of which extend as short glaze lines. One of these firing cracks was a bit wider and has been filled, neatly and clearly professionally. Minor handling wear, the enamels are lovely and bright with no discernible rubbing.
