Thank you for viewing! (*^^*) There are no noticeable scratches or stains, but the bottom is slightly chipped and there are areas where the gold part is worn. Also, the white part has small scratches (see photo 4). I am a private seller, so I have inspected the item, but there may be small scratches or stains that I have overlooked in addition to those mentioned. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. Purchases without comments are welcome. Thank you. #Plate #CurryPlate
