There are a few faint stains on the saucer. There are scratches and stains on the reflective part of the saucer. There are scratches and stains on the bottoms of the cup and saucer. Please note that I am a private seller, so there may be oversights. Please consider this item if you understand that it is a used item. Instant purchase is OK.
