Gilding: Displays minor, expected surface wear and rubbing to the gold gilt highlights, consistent with an antique item of this age.
Porcelain: Structural integrity is good overall. There is a visible line on the base of the porcelain. This requires a closer physical inspection to definitively determine if it is a natural factory firing flaw from production or a minor hairline crack.
