Condition Report
The dishes are both very heavily tarnished throughout. One dish is split to the body with the bowl almost completely torn/detached from the pedestal. The other dish has a noticeable repair to the body of the bowl, a split across the top of the bowl near the handle and a compression ridge inside the bowl where it joins the pedestal. Wear to the gilded interiors. Visible soldering seams to both pedestals. Hallmarks clearly legible apart from the makers' marks which are rubbed.
