This item was purchased in Italy about 10 years ago. It's a beautiful item with a lovely light blue color on the bottom. Although it has been used very little, there is a chip on the rim, so I'm offering it at a reduced price. There is no box. I plan to pack it carefully with bubble wrap and then ship it via Yu-Packet Post. I'm offering it at a lower price because of this, so I hope you understand that it is a used item before purchasing.
