This item was stored in a cupboard. The gold paint on the handle of the Old Country Roses cup is thinly applied from the beginning, and the rim is also thin. It's beautiful, but it's not unused or new, so please consider this if you don't mind. If you are looking for a pair of coffee cups, please consider this. Returns are not accepted to prevent switching of items. #Pair #CoffeeCup #Royal Albert #ShowaRetro #RetroModern
