Condition Report:
Beautiful vintage condition overall. Fourteen (14) of the teacup-and-saucer pairs are completely flawless with absolutely no chips, cracks, or repairs. Two (2) of the teacups feature small, stable hairline cracks. Other than those two specific cups, the entire 32-piece collection is structurally pristine. The white porcelain body remains bright, the hand-applied raised enamel dots are fully intact, and the 22K gold trim shows virtually no rub-wear. Light, clean glaze crazing is present under close light, which is standard and expected for authentic mid-century fine china. Hand-wash only. Never microwave.
