Some items have an indented stamped number (example, 10 or 22). 3 Dinner plates have a chip on the underside of the lip. Not noticeable when looking at it. 1 tea cup has a chip. 1 lid of the vegetable serving bowl has a chip on the underside of the lid.Not the bowl and not seen. 1 gravy boat resting plate. 1 vegetable serving bowl with lid. I have another vegetable serving bowl with lid but this has more obvious damage so is not mentioned in the listing as part of the set quantity.
The handle was glued and came off (not a good repair), but a hand person may be able to repair this. There is also a hairline crack in the lid. I can include this piece if you request it. It was part of the set.
