 🔍 Condition Report (Honest Seller Disclosure): 

• Overall: Very good, bright vintage pre-owned condition. The structural integrity is excellent, and the colourful central scenes remain vibrant. 

• Specific Flaws: 

 1. The printed script text for the month of "Août" (August) is notably faded, though the central artwork remains sharp. 

 2. One or two plates have small, minor chipping on the underside rim/foot ring (completely hidden from view when displayed flat or hung up on a wall). 

• General Details: Light signs of micro surface shelf wear, minor glaze crazing, and standard age-appropriate gold gilt rubbing on the rims. Please inspect all high-resolution photos closely as they serve as the final visual confirmation of size and condition.

 📐 Dimensions: • Diameter: Approx. 20 cm (approx. 8 inches) per plate.

Every single plate will be individually wrapped in heavy bubble cushioning, securely bundled to prevent friction, and shipped in a heavy-duty box.
