I received this as a gift. I kept it displayed in the cupboard without using it. When I tried to take photos for the listing, I dropped the black one and it got slightly dented. I'm so upset. It's damaged, but it doesn't affect its use. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. The red one is fine. Pair of lacquered cups How about them for your new life?
