There are no visible damages such as cracks or chips, but please check the photos for the condition. A special box is not included, but it will be carefully packed to prevent damage during shipping. This is a very beautiful teacup with wisteria flowers. You can enjoy it as a tea utensil, or as interior decoration for your entrance or room. As this is an old item, we are looking forward to purchases from those who understand that it is a used item. #TeaCeremonyUtensils #TeaCeremonyTools
