Condition Report (Excellent Vintage Condition):
The entire service is in excellent vintage condition, very clean. As a used, second-hand item, it has been exceptionally well preserved and maintained. The porcelain is structurally perfect: no cracks, no chips, and no restorations. The gilding and glaze retain a very beautiful shine and a luminous luster, showing only light and natural signs of conservation and age, entirely normal and expected for antique dinnerware of this quality.
