While there are no visible cracks or chips, please check the photos for the condition. A special box is not included, but it will be carefully packed to prevent damage during shipping. This is a beautiful combination of a tea container and a protective cloth bag. You can enjoy it not only as a tea utensil but also as interior decoration for your entrance or room. As this is an old item, we are looking forward to purchases from those who understand that it is a used item.
