Disclaimer: All Quimper and Porquier Beau lots have wear and minor losses with glaze imperfections commensurate with age and handling.  Look through the lot images carefully, these lots are being sold in As Is condition. 
Condition:  There is crazing to pitcher with sticker residue underfoot. The mouth rim has light pinkish hue to the white glaze which may be from older restoration or commensurate with age. A spot on the back of the mouth, closer to the handle than spout appears chipped but is likely from manufacturing and is glazed to not detract from the visual aesthetic.  The cup and saucer with some wear and nics to the glaze but overall in good form and despite wear all present well.
