The bowls are a thinner variety with a thicker pedestal foot and each weighs 3 ounces. They are bright white. The plates are thick and sturdy, each weighing in at 1 pound 2 ounces, and are slightly off white. The orange and gold pattern on the face of the plates matches the bowls, with the exception of the plates having a pebble-like glaze look and feel that shimmers in the light (picture 9). Both are footed.

Orange and gold graphics on the porcelain are vibrant and crisp with scant fleabite color loss

One bowl has one 1/2" chip on the rim (picture 3)
No other chips, no cracks and no crazing

Discolored scuffing on underside bottom unglazed feet

Bowls: 4-3/4" diameter at rim, 2-3/8" tall
