Dining at Home

Excellent condition. No chips, cracks or restorations noted. The gilt decoration to the Minton plates retains a bright lustre. A few very minor scuffs, likely from stacking the plates; no deep cutlery marks or other signs of use observed. One or two plates have a few very faint spots of discoloration, but the overall presentation is quite attractive. The Royal Worcester plates are in likewise very good condition. The pink glaze is a very close match to the Minton plates but the gilt decoration is not quite as bright.

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot's condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition. Condition reports prepared by Freeman's staff are provided as a convenience and may be requested from the Department prior to bidding.

The absence of a posted condition report on the Freeman's website or in our catalogues should not be interpreted as commentary on an item's condition. Prospective buyers are responsible for inspecting a lot or sending their agent or conservator to inspect the lot on their behalf, and for ensuring that they have requested, received and understood any condition report provided by Freeman's.
