Stored in the cupboard. Although used infrequently, there are some scratches from storage. It's a branded item with a beautiful design. It can be used for various dishes. Since I don't use it, I'd like to offer it to someone who will. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly sensitive or a perfectionist. I will wrap it in bubble wrap and pack it carefully for shipping. The placemat is not included. Thank you.
