This is a set of a small Vietnamese Bat Trang ceramic teapot and plates. I received it as a souvenir a long time ago and have had it on display in a cabinet. The cracks on the surface are part of the design. Also, the cracks on the back of the plates are original. There are some minor scratches and stains that won't come off from being stored at home for a long time. Why not put some sweets on the cute petal-shaped plates and enjoy some Asian tea? We are looking forward to your purchase if you understand that this is a long-term home storage item.
