Used once or twice when guests visited. There are cutlery marks and scratches on the gold trim when held up to the light. Please comment if you need images. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a perfect item. Please understand that this is a used item. This is a used item, having been used. Will be shipped via Nekopos. I am also selling a new, unused item with the same pattern. I also sell tableware, mainly cups & saucers, so feel free to combine purchases!
