This item was transported from Italy a while ago during a trip and has been stored with little use since then. It appears to be in excellent condition, almost new, but upon close inspection, the gold rim of the saucer in photo 4 has a slight chip (barely noticeable). Also, there is some discoloration, likely from aging, on the base of the underside. The box is not included. I am also listing this item on other sites, so please let me know before purchasing.
