This item was displayed but never actually used. The gold leaf shines beautifully, and I don't think there are any areas where it's worn or thin. The beautiful roses unique to Old Rose Country are a masterpiece that cannot be replaced by other tableware. As there is no outer box, I will carefully pack and ship the item. To ensure the quickest delivery time, depending on the time of purchase, the shipping method may be changed from Rakuraku Mercari Bin to Yuyu Mercari Bin, or vice versa. Please understand. If you have any issues with either Yamato Transport or Japan Post, please let me know before purchasing, and I will do my best to accommodate you.
