This item has been in long-term storage since I purchased it. I believe there are some inconspicuous scratches and stains. I have displayed it as part of my collection. There is some staining on the lid of the tea container. It is made of ceramic. I do not know the material of the natsume (tea caddy). The black natsume has a beautiful pattern. I do not remember the artist. The tea container has a box, but the lid is torn. The measuring tape is not included.
