Bidding ended. Lot has been sold.

This lot is in good overall condition.

The plate has localised scratching throughout which is evident particularly around the orange and brown rings which has removed the paint and left white marks.

There are minor paint losses to the orange outer rim.

From manufacture the blue circles have areas where the painting has not quite filled the space leaving tiny white gaps. The black outer edges to the balls are 'rubbed'


The cup has a tiny chip to the outer rim.

The glaze has a discoloured appearance.

There is scratching particularly to the brown and orange bands.

Again the painting has left small gaps and blurring on the black outlines as above.

The interior of the cup has left a curious 'splash' mark to the glaze.
