Each item presents well; most with fine network of crazing to the glaze; some with faint but noticeable stain discoloration; not black lighted; each item appears to be in generally good, undamaged condition, with the following noteworthy exceptions:
Twenty four dinner plates: one plate appears to have been professionally sprayed, so it appears to have been treated or restored to some degree; some plates display stain discoloration; there is some noticeable color variation to the blue ground color; some crazing to the glaze; some of the plates have embedded small particle inclusions at the surface, in the making; no apparent rim chips except one plate that reveals the blue ground under color because of a shallow flake loss to the edge; curiously, no obvious scratch marks to the centers
Eleven salad plates: two plates have short hairline cracks to their centers; approximately three of the plates each have a small burst glaze bubble on the front surface, in proximity to the bamboo rim edge; some stain plates discolored
Twelve soup bowls: one bowl appears to have been professionally sprayed at its center so it appears to have been treated or restored to some degree; one bowl has a short hairline in the center; each bowl has varying degrees of crazing to the glaze
Two footed bowls (low compotes): each has two vertical hairline cracks to its foot
