Condition Report
Cups and saucers in overall stable, attractive condition. One of the saucers with a very small flat flake to interior of foot rim. One cup with a few very small fleabites to footrim, none of which would be visible when cup is resting on a flat surface. The other cup with an area of darker/thicker magenta ground along lip rim, appears to be from production as area does not fluoresce under UV light. Further examination under UV light shows a professionally restored break and reattachment to the handle of this cup. Other cup and two saucers do not exhibit signs of restoration under UV light. Additional images available upon request.
