I've taken it out of the box and put it on the shelf, but I haven't used it, so it's free of scratches. "Jin?" is written on the back. Diameter is 9cm, and it's a generous size. Photo: The dye is lightly applied. This is not a scratch or stain; it was there from the beginning. It's a thin and delicate porcelain with purple flowers and gold trim, which is very beautiful. No pets or smoking.
