The silver plate holders’ tarnish has given them a charming patina appropriate to their age. There are a couple tiny edge area chips in the cups’ glaze, the largest of which is shown in the last photo. A tan colored interior glaze due to age is seen in one cup. These imperfections do not affect use. less
