The plate is in very nice condition, with no chips or cracks. There is a professional repair on the front rim at 9 0’clock, and a few repaired tiny chips along the back rim. Some wear to the painted rim. Glaze ponding original to the making. Wear to the inner rim which has modest discoloration. Fine utensil wear consistent with age and prior use. An outstanding example overall displaying beautifully.

Children's early name plates and mugs were given as christening gifts rewards of merit and gifts for good children. They are quite scarce and a wonderful gift to a special child today. The plate will make a fine addition to any collection of quality children's dishes. Offered as is.
