A Set of Twelve Minton Armorial Porcelain Plates Diameter 10 1/4 inches.

Each in decent, stable and complete condition overall. No visible chips or cracks. All plates with varying degrees of surface wear and loss to the gilt central crest. General wear and scattered instances of rubbing and loss throughout to both the celeste blue and gilt foliate decorated elements of the borders, some of which have been retouched. Several plates with minor instances of tape or adhesive residue to the white grounds. Examination under UV light causes patches to vaguely fluoresce under the undersides of a few plates. Many of the outermost rims of the plates fluoresce under UV light, suggesting instances of retouch.
