Condition
There are some occasional, minor chipping or glaze flakes to the edges of the quartered eggs, some of which have been restored or painted over. The entire circumference of the rim edge appears to have been oversprayed, possibly covering rim chip/s; the restoration is well-done. There are three small additional rim chips scattered along the rim edge that have been painted over.
