There are a handful of small porcelain chips in the field, as well as, some light surface scratches and scuffing in the outer field. The most notable porcelain chip is in the yellow background in the upper right field. The mounting holes show porcelain loss and wear from hanging over the years. The extreme outer edges are nice, with wear and chipping in a few areas (Score 87). Side 2 shows heavier surface scratching in the field. The scratches are light but nonetheless present throughout the graphic and outer field. There are some porcelain chips in the field, the worst of which are in the upper left field.
