After purchasing it used, I stored it in a case in a dark place without displaying it. It is in a beautiful condition with no scratches or stains, but there is some slight yellowing on a part of the sugar (see image 7). As it is not a noticeable stain, I have rated the current condition based on the overall impression. I will wrap it in vinyl and cushioning material, and send it via Yu-Packet in an appropriate size.
