Condition Report
Condition overall is good with no damages or any restoration. There are a few sections of losses and rubbing to the decoration on both pieces, predominantly to the red enamels.

The teacup's gilding is generally OK but there are a few patches of wear around the rim.

The saucers main decorarion is a little more heavily rubbed to some of the gilding and leaves.  Elsewhere, there are two small spots of enamel loss to the interior sprig on the teacup and the turquoise border on the saucer is also a bit patchy in comparison to the cup. Please see additional images.
