This cute pair of plates are in very good condition, with no chips, cracks, or scratches. They were on display for many years, but always in a smoke-free home. They have different dates on the front, but both are dated 1978 on the back. Both have a built-in hook for wall hanging. They come in their original boxes, but we have only the one piece of documentation, which is English on one side and German on the other and describes the crystal glass process.
