This item has been displayed in my parents' china cabinet for a long time. I understand it's unused, but there are some minor scratches on the bottoms of the cups and saucers. Please check the gold trim on the saucers in photo 8, as there are some areas where the gold has worn off or has scratches. There is no box. It has a very lovely design, so I hope someone will use it. I would appreciate it if you could understand that it has been stored at home for a long time in its current condition. I am also listing several other demitasse cups (^^)
