The item has visible scratches and stains, and it appears the spout was damaged and has been repaired. Water flows out normally, but this is a junk item in poor condition. Please carefully review the product page and images before purchasing. I will ship using either Yu-Yu Mercari or Raku-Raku Mercari (packaged with bubble wrap and newspaper in a cardboard box). Please note that items shipped via Yu-Yu Mercari on weekends and holidays will be changed to Raku-Raku Mercari. Thank you for your understanding. Please take a moment to read my profile before considering a purchase. I am not accepting price negotiations. Thank you for your interest. Thank you for reading to the end. #Tokoname ware #Takami #Bijin-ga (beautiful woman painting) #Kyusu (teapot)
