Duke of Wellington
Shallow chip to the peak of the duke's right collar, occasional typical firing imperfections and occasional minor scratching to the surface. The figure could do with a clean.
Robert Peel
Occasional typical firing imperfections and occasional minor scratching to the surface. The bust needs a clean. Traces of wax residue to the circular plinth that flakes off. The figure needs a clean.
William IV
There is a paler patch measuring approx. 2cm x 1cm to the reverse of the model underneath the shoulder. This does not appear to be restoration work (possibly where a label used to be?). Occasional typical firing imperfections and occasional minor scratching to the surface. The bust needs a clean.
