Two tiny rim chips on the foot rim, as shown. No other chips, cracks, scratches or repairs. Minor typical firing imperfections: stilt marks and glaze grit on the foot rim, original to the making. The plate is whimsical yet elegant. It will make a wonderful display and a welcome addition to any collection of children's early wares or collection of early nursery and childrens wares. A prize possession for a good childs. Offered as is, as shown. Thank you for bidding!
