03.26.2026- In my opinion regarding: LOT 2465- the group is overall intact, as described there is some variation to the tone of the blue, scattered small edge chips, mostly noted to the mid-size plates, but to a few rims and lids as well, see images, I further observe some crazing, some pieces have discoloration and spotting, there are a few missing lids, one to larger service dish and another to a smaller server, this piece is intact with a stable star fracture, otherwise I note typical imperfections such as glaze variations, stilt marks and signs of use, all mentioned commensurate with age and the utilitarian use of the service
