Although I don't have the original box, the item is new and unused. It has been stored for a long time. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about details. I think having 10 teacups is quite rare. You can feel secure even if you break one (*^.^*) If you like them, please consider purchasing. I have included a picture of a concern with one of the teacups in image 11. Please take a look (^-^)
