The original box is not included. This is an unused item that has been stored. There are black dots from the manufacturing process, and both pieces have scratches on the "N" of the Noritake lettering on the back. There are also minor scratches, scuffs, and stains, so please understand that this item has been handled by someone else. I have carefully checked the item visually, but please understand if there are any oversights. If you have any concerns about the condition, please refrain from purchasing. EVENINGMAJESTY
