This lot of porcelain is in good to fair condition, considering age, uses and time under the ocean in 'ship wreck.’ Some firing faults throughout, fading of enamel and wear visible on all especially around foot rims. One saucer has a large missing chip and hair line cracks visible on two of the cups. Additional photos available on request.

Four saucers and two cups bear Christie's labels to the underside.
