They present quite nicely. All are free of chips, cracks, and crazing. They show minor wear consistent with age and gentle use -- if you look closely and reflect them in light, you can see minor utensil marks and some light fading on the golden rim; the wear is generally only noticeable with close inspection. One of the plates has a small, ~0.25-inch moderate-depth scratch on the surface, which you can see in the final photo.
