Fully marked under rim. The marks are clear. Further stamped underneath with maker's name. There is overall surface scratching and wear, consistent with age and use. The wear is noticeable as a softening to the high points. There is some bruising and more obvious scratches/knife marks overall. The base is pushed down somewhat so the dish rocks when placed on a flat surface.
