Perfect condition. Fourth factory quality. Sometimes, porcelain is labeled as a "second" or "fourth" quality for no apparent reason. To the everyday observer, these pieces look absolutely flawless. However, luxury manufacturers enforce microscopic standards, meaning a piece can be downgraded over a tiny weight discrepancy, a microscopic glaze bubble, or an invisible structural variance.
