Masons Mandalay Blue Set of 2 plates, 17cm each. Diameter: Approximately 17cm Gold trim is gleaming and the surface is glossy. These items are likely unused and have been stored. For those who love antiques and vintage items, or fans of Sherlock Holmes and Downton Abbey, how about these? There are small marks on the back, but these are from the manufacturing process. They are often found on old England-made plates. The Mandalay series always has them. Vintage and antique items often have small black spots, paint loss, minor imperfections, and crazing from the time of manufacture. Please understand and accept that these are old items made with different manufacturing methods than today. Please understand and accept that these are pre-owned items that have been in someone else's possession. Thank you. Blue Mandalay
