This item was stored long-term in an old house. Details and authenticity are unknown. It was stored in the condition shown in the images, and although it appears to be unused, there are scratches, dirt, and cloudiness upon closer inspection. There are also what appear to be uneven paint or paint clumps. I have no knowledge of Shunkei lacquerware, so I don't know if this paint and condition are normal. The vase (ceramic) also has dirt, stains, or scuffs. This is an old item that has been stored at home. There is dirt and dust, but it will be sold as is. The outer box, included instructions, and packaging materials have stains, discoloration, and other deterioration. Please check the images and understand before purchasing. It will be sent via Yu-Pack 60cm with simple packaging (using recycled materials).
