Typical fine crackle to the glaze all over, some of the gilding is more grey and toned down than other areas, it is most likely that this is an effect that the factory were looking for as opposed to wear to the gilding as on some of the flowers the dots to the centre are bright, basically in good condition with no restoration, chips or cracks, some slight wear to the base consistent with age.
