Condition Report
Both pieces appear in fairly good overall condition, displaying some general wear, surface scratches, marks and tarnishing. The interior of the dish appears gilded but this is now a little discoloured around the edges. There appear to be remnants of gilding to the front lower legs of the cherub so it is possible that the whole figure was once gilded but it has now worn away.
