condition
Condition is very good: there are a few small chips to the vertical flange inside the cover and a further couple of very small chips and fleabites on the underside of the rim of the tureen. A bit of crazing to the shoulders of the tureen. Very light surface wear, the enamel is in excellent condition, really just some expected light wear to the cover knop.
