Condition
There are minor typical chips to the applied components of the decoration. Whatever the cherub on the right was holding in his left hand (beneath the palette) is chipped away; and the pen held in the right hand of the other cherub is chipped away. Apart from this and several very minor small factory-related firing tears, the porcelain is in generally good condition.
