Beautiful item. The lace-like holes around the rim are very elegant, making this a graceful deep plate, unique to full lace. It will further enhance your dishes. This is a slightly larger deep plate. It seems suitable not only for soup but also for curry and pasta dishes. Unused item kept in home storage, I believe it is in beautiful condition with a good sheen. Purchased and stored locally in Royal Copenhagen. No box. I will pack it carefully for shipping. As it is pottery, please no returns. Thank you for looking.
