Some light surface wear.
The candelabra- Good condition, some tiny chips to the leaves, one leaf with a slice chip to its side; some frits to the glaze.
The tulip bowls- Eight in good condition; a few tiny nicks to the rims; one bowl with a section out and restored, the old restoration now peeling.
Ten flower-shaped plates-- scattered chips and wear to the high points and edges; one with a Y-shaped hairline crack extending from the rim into the center, two with a shorter hairline, one with some glaze lines.
The menu stands- With menus by Mrs. Bloomingdale still written in pencil (can be washed off)
