No chips, no cracks. It has extensive crazing throughout the plate with some discoloration along the crazing lines. It also has some paint smears from at the time that the plate was made. They are under the glaze and appear along the front rim and some on the backside of the plate. There is also a piece of clay under the glaze on the backside rim , this also would’ve occurred at the time that the plate was made.
