Each shows age spotting in the glaze, small scattered specks that sit under the glaze surface rather than on top of it. This is a normal sign of age in French earthenware of this period and is not damage. There are some very light surface scratches in the wells, consistent with gentle use over the years. The green transfer decoration is crisp and well preserved on all three.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe mark is not identical across the set. Two dishes carry the full printed R\u0026amp;A Salins Guirlandes cartouche on the underside. The third carries only the impressed SALINS factory mark, with no printed cartouche. All three are the same pattern, the same form, and the same size, and read as a set.
