Condition report:
One large Willow pattern platter has a significant vertical crack running through the centre and extensive surface crazing (photo 5). The tea wares show general light wear to the gilt edges and minor surface scratches consistent with use. Most decorative pieces appear in good display condition, though the collection consists largely of partial and mismatched sets.
