The catalogue description is slightly inaccurate - the lot actually includes 1 oval meat plate, 6 dinner plates, 12 side plates, 6 soup bowls and suacers, 6 tea plates and 6 coffee cans and saucers. All of the items are first quality, there are no seconds. All of the pieces are in very good order, there are no cracks or chips and very little, if any, wear to the gilt banding.
