Thank you very much for choosing this item from among many others. This is a set of a beautiful green teapot and five teacups. I am not very knowledgeable about pottery, but upon closer inspection, the mark of the kiln that fired them is printed on the back of the teacups: "Mugen" (meaning "Illusion" or "Dream"). This item has been stored in my parents' warehouse for a long time. Although the wooden box is dirty, the contents are in perfect condition, **new and unused**. I will send it as is, in the dirty wooden box. ★ Please excuse any overall age-related deterioration. ★ Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about details. ★ Please check the condition carefully in the photos. ★ I will sell it to someone who appreciates its value. ★ Returns are not accepted to prevent substitution. ★ The box will be discarded. ★ Only the contents will be shipped. Thank you for your consideration.
