While I think it's relatively clean, I'm listing it as having scratches and stains because I don't know its history. It's a piece of pottery with a painting on it, but I don't know any details about the artist. I would appreciate it if those interested would carefully review the product page and images before making a purchase. I will wrap it in newspaper, then thickly in bubble wrap, and then place it in a cardboard box with additional cushioning like newspaper. Shipping will be via Yu-Yu Mercari Bin or Raku-Raku Mercari Bin (items shipped via Yu-Yu Mercari Bin on weekends and holidays will be changed to Raku-Raku Mercari Bin). Thank you for your understanding. I would appreciate it if you could read my profile before considering a purchase. I am open to price negotiations! I look forward to your purchase. Thank you for reading to the end. #HenriotQuimper #Quimperware #Pottery #Painting #Crafts #Antique #Fashion #Design
