Long-term warehouse storage. Please check the photos for scratches and stains. We will pack with the utmost care, but those who seek perfection or are meticulous often encounter problems later. If you have any remaining concerns, please refrain from purchasing. Perceptions vary from person to person, so I have changed the overall assessment to "bad." Please carefully examine the photos and make your purchase at your own discretion. #ChineseArt #Antique #Teapot #ChineseTeaSet Thank you for viewing.
