Although likely unused, there are scratches and signs of aging (such as rust) on the tea caddy due to long-term storage at home. Please check the condition in the photos. As this is a visual inspection by a non-professional, there may be oversights or discrepancies in perception. Please understand that this is a used item that has been stored at home for a long time before purchasing. Please refrain from purchasing if you are nervous or concerned about minor details. Shipping will be packed with recycled materials.
