I bought this about 10 years ago, but I've only used it once or twice and then stored it away. The craftsmanship feels a bit rough, and there are parts that look discolored, but that's how it was originally made. Please check the 7th photo. I think it would be good for eating fruit, etc. There is no box, so I plan to wrap it in bubble wrap and ship it in a box I have on hand.
