Good condition overall. Only the bowl is marked. There are no marks on the foot, but the enamel on the bowl is of the same quality compared to the one on the foot. There are some damages, possibly firing defects, to the ring of white enamel at the centre of the bowl. There are some minor chips to the blue and green enamel overall. Otherwise, there is some surface scratching and wear to the gilding, as consistent with age.
