Condition report:
The collection exhibits varying degrees of wear consistent with age. Significant crazing is visible to the glaze of the T.G. Green bowl and the reverse of the Mason\'s plate. The Royal Worcester plate shows some surface staining and light wear to the centre. Minor gilding wear and surface abrasions are present on several pieces, but the Royal Doulton jug appears to be in good overall condition without obvious chips or cracks.
