Condition
One of the covers has been restored and extensively oversprayed presumably covering cracks and breaks. One side of one tureen has been restored and extensively oversprayed. Because the restoration is very good, it is impossible to detect the extent of the original damage. Otherwise the rest of the pieces are in generally good condition.
