I kept this item carefully, unused. It was a pair, but I used one and kept the other in the box. My collection of dishes has grown too large, so I am decluttering. The box is large, so it is not included. Due to the nature of foreign-made products, there may be fine patterns, black spots, scratches, protrusions, variations in color, and gold flecks from the manufacturing process. Please understand this beforehand. This item has been stored at home. If you are looking for a perfect item or are concerned about minor details, please refrain from purchasing. I would be happy if I could pass this on to someone who will cherish it.
