The engraving on the saucer is a little tired to the centre and also a little tired around the bowl, both in line with age. There is a later engraved inscription on the underside of the saucer and on the top. A few minor nicks and dings in general. Marks on bowl quite rubbed, marks on base clearer, although some rubbing to the maker's mark.
