Both have typical minor worn-down rims chips and wear to the centres of the dish and slight discolouration from being in an oven. This wear and tear is typical of dishes of this type and generally the scale and condition of these dishes is good. Both are incised with the numeral "2" to the centre suggesting that these have always been together.
