Very Good. Plate has an impact mid base and a crack running across about two thirds of the face. Underneath you can see this same line and also a couple of short hairlines from the same spot. Cup has a small 3 x 2 mm chip off the back rim and some wear to the gold. Usual light marks amongst them. Nice group. Part of the same (mostly complete) set from last auction consigned to us with instructions to split it up to give a wider number of people a chance to own pieces of this historically interesting commemorative china. Grade: 7.5 Estimate: $30 - 50
