This beautiful set is in very good to excellent Estate condition with the only noted flaw being that the waste is slightly misshapen at the rim with the rim not being perfectly level and there are a few minor nicks in this area. Other than this issue at the rim which can easily be corrected by someone who knows what they are doing, the set is in great condition reflecting only minor signs of normal wear.
