After use, it was washed, dried, and stored. There are black marks on areas without gloss (such as the edges, where paint isn't applied) that appear to be caused by the ceramic rubbing against each other (please check the photos). *Please understand that this was stored at home. *I have noted any scratches or stains I noticed, but there may be oversights. *Shipping may use recycled materials. *The shipping method may change from Yu-Yu Mercari Bin to Raku-Raku Mercari Bin.
