The set is incomplete and shows wear commensurate with its age but what is represented here is in remarkable condition. The gilt border on most of the plates show wear and loss, but there are no visible hairlines or chips. The focal point of the set is an incredible tureen with under plate in great condition, a nest of three oval meat platters, ranging from 18" long to 14", four covered vegetable dishes--two with round domed tops and two more rectangular, two soup bowls, twelve dinner plates, and five oval vegetable dishes varying in length from 7 1/4" to 11". All pieces have the Derby mark on the underside. The set totals 29 pieces, all in good condition given their age. For a collector of early Derby, this is a find! less
