Condition: In excellent condition with no restoration or significant damage to porcelain. Condition Report: There are a number of short firing shrinkage cracks across the fine strands of the trellis work. To the rear there is some minor kiln speckling/peppering toward the edges also from firing.This does not impinge on the decorative qualities of a wonderful cabinet plate or pose any threat to the integrity of the piece. You are unlikely to find a better surviving example.
