Dear Giovanni,
thank you, the black in the areas you mention is not faded, but just less thick, I guess that that this was intentionally made, but not to imitate fading, just as part of the design... It is not a different black from that in the areas around, just less densely applied. There is some fading in other areas, on the thin lines. I looked at it with a magnifying glass and compared it to other late 19th c porcelain I have, and I think it looks similar...
Regards,
Matthias
