Condition Report
Both dishes display general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use. One appears more tarnished but both display spots or patches of heavier tarnishing and would benefit from a clean and polish. Some dints and bumps to both, also deeper marks and scratches to some areas. There are breaks in the metal to both, at the join between the pierced band and the inner lobed band. The maker's marks are clear and legible.
