This is a brand new, unused Arita-yaki Kyokosometsuke tea set. Although it is new and unused, it has been stored in its box for a long time. Therefore, there is some aging of the box, wrapping paper, and the plastic material attached to the spout of the teapot. Please be aware of this if you are concerned. Shipping will be done with the box wrapped in cushioning material. Thank you for your understanding.
