Although it is new and unused, please understand that there may be minor stains or scratches from home storage. It has been stored in its original box, but since it was stored without a plastic bag, I'm listing it as "near new." The box is torn and will not be included. I would appreciate it if those who understand that it has been stored would purchase it. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about minor details or are overly sensitive. The box is not included. I am also listing other cups & saucers.
