Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 5203

5203. 'Bad in appearance' means which are not expressions of faith. This is clear from the meaning of 'beautiful in appearance' as things which are matters of faith, dealt with just above in 5199, and therefore 'bad in appearance' here means things which are not matters of faith.
