This item has been in my family home for about 60 years. It seems my grandfather, who was born in the Meiji era, bought it. The condition is very good. There is a pattern on the inside of the cup that beautifully reflects the color of the tea. There are no chips or cracks. One of the two cups in the set has a litho transfer error on the saucer (photo 3), a rocking defect on the cup, a litho transfer error on the cup (photo 4), and a stain on the inside of the cup (photo 7). The litho (lithograph) transfer errors and rocking are manufacturing defects. The stain also seems to be under the glaze, as it catches when you run your finger over it. One cup is in perfect condition. I am offering this at a reasonable price as it is a pair with one cup that has minor flaws. I would appreciate it if you understand this. Size: Cup diameter 9.5cm, height 6cm, saucer 14.5cm It was stored in my home's cupboard, so there is no original box. I will pack it securely in a substitute box for shipping. I have dismantled a set of 6 cups. If other items are still available, I can combine shipping. Please comment if you have any questions. I ask that you purchase after you are satisfied. I am also selling two other pairs. If you are looking for perfect condition items, please see those listings. #OldNoritake #RubyGold #Teacup&Saucer
