Purchased in Shanghai and used only once for Japanese tea. I am selling it because I haven't used it since. zenlifestore (鉦藝廊) is a long-established, representative porcelain shop in Shanghai, known for its colorful porcelain and its motto, "Chinese style, Shanghai flavor." The works are carefully hand-painted by artisans, featuring motifs of flowers and birds, with a gorgeous yet nostalgic feel. As all works are hand-painted by artisans, there are individual differences. There may be black spots (iron particles), small protrusions, bubbles, distortions, glaze smudges, color unevenness, bleeding, and color fading, but these are not defects. Based on the above, this product has no scratches or stains.
