This item was stored at my grandmother's house. It's likely from nearly 30 years ago. While I don't believe there are any noticeable cracks or chips, there are crazing and pinholes typical of pottery. As this is a very old item, please purchase only if you understand this. There is no box. *Please purchase only if you are not concerned about this being a USED item and having been stored at home. *Recycled materials are used for packing. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to smells or are very particular. *Depending on the package size, the shipping method may be changed from Rakuraku Mercari Bin to Yu Yu Mercari Bin. *I try to take photos with the same color as possible, but the colors may differ from the actual item. Please understand.
