*** Notes specific to NOVEMBER ONLY ***
This plate has been repaired!
While getting it down from the wall some years ago, it dropped and "snapped in half" is our best description. We had this professionally repaired as best as it could be.
So November looks fine from the front, but looking at the rear you can see the hairline crack and the glaze has a dullness due to the repair process used. Please look at the photographs to see the condition of the plate front and rear.
It was a real shame when November dropped to the floor but the subsequent repair quality is pretty good and the plate is still "very presentable" up on the wall.
CONDITION:
The plate is clean
NO discolouration
NO chips
NO crazing
Colours are all vivid and "natural" looking
Gold gilding to the outer edge is UNDAMAGED
Both the wall hanging attachment and the perspex stand are included
