Four demitasse cups with visible hairline fractures on interior of vessels, however all appear to be currently structurally stable. Little wear to gilt and painted elements. Bottoms of all components with minor wear commensurate with age and shelf use. Some scattered scratches to elements from sitting cups on top of saucers. No other visible damage, losses or repairs.
