Condition report:
The collection is in generally good vintage condition with signs of age-appropriate wear. Visible crazing is present on the West German art pottery pitcher and some of the earthenware mugs. The two heraldic plates are fitted with wire spring-tension plate hangers. There are no obvious large chips or cracks to the porcelain items. Minor surface scratching and wear to the base rims are consistent with domestic use.
