This set contains no chips or cracks. The floral pattern is bright, crisp, and clear on both pieces. The lid on the sugar bowl is removable. The gold detailing around each rim is bright and shiny with no worn spots or rubbing. Both pieces contain beautiful light crazing. The creamer has some light staining on the bottom interior and a little dimple near the rim. This dimple is not a chip but an actual dimple that was impressed into the clay by accident before firing and was completely glazed over. A lovely reminder that these pieces were handmade.
