Attached Underplate: 2 piece set where the bowl is permanently attached to the underplate as manufactured.
Lid Repair: There is a professional-style repair on the scalloped rim of the lid. The area has been filled and smoothed to match the original curve; it is structurally stable but has a matte texture compared to the glossy glaze.
Wear: Visible gold loss/rubbing on the lid handle and the gold "daubs" on the footed base, consistent with antique age.
