This is a second hand used item, but it may have signs of wear commensurate of age. Items are rarely in mint condition, if it is, it will be declared in the description. My items are all vintage or antique items, therefore they will have signs of age, including stilt marks, wear to the gilding, utensil scratches, minor firing faults and natural, clean glaze crazing, which is inevitable, this is part of the ageing process. All items weighing under 2 kilos will be sent International Signed For service to provide tracking details.
