Thank you for viewing! ^^ DENBY, a stoneware company, was founded in 1809. It's a popular brand that's also available in Japan, known for its durable products. It has been around for over 200 years, and new products are still being released. This "wheel" pattern has a warm texture. When combined with the teapot, it creates a set that has a sense of weight and coziness, typical of stoneware. There is a small chip on the lid of the pot, but it even adds to the vintage feel. Otherwise, there are no noticeable scratches, and I believe it's in beautiful condition. Please understand that as a vintage or antique item that has been stored or displayed for a long time, there may be minor scratches due to storage or aging. There is no original box, but I will pack it carefully and with care. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to ask. Thank you! ^^
