There are no chips, cracks or restoration to the plates but there is alot of wear ot the gilt banding and some wear to the blue glaze around the edge of the plates too. The plate picturing one child has a mark on the top side of the plate which shows iridescence and could be a small patch of nail polish??!!. Attached is an image of the mark to the base of the plate which depicts 2 children. The other plate has a blue mark to the reverse that is illegible
