This item has been stored for a long time. This is a glass tea bowl, a tea utensil, that my deceased mother used. Photos 16 and 17 show what appear to be fine cracks, but based on the feel, they seem to be air bubbles created during the manufacturing process (in my amateur opinion). Although it appears to have been used infrequently, there may be some minor soiling. The box has damage and dirt. Please be sure to check all the images before purchasing. I am unable to answer specialized questions, so please make your judgment based on the images. As this is a used item, please refrain from purchasing if you are seeking perfection or are overly sensitive. Please refrain from price negotiations. #teaceremonyteabowl #glasscraft #crystal #teagathering #teaceremony #glass teabowl #teabowl #teaceremonyutensils #teaceremony #interior #ornament interior ornament teaceremony teabowl teaceremony teagathering
