As an authentic vintage/antique piece, each item may show signs of age and previous use, including surface wear, scratches, discoloration, glaze irregularities, minor rim irregularities and other characteristics consistent with its age. These are part of the individual character of antique teaware and are not considered defects unless otherwise stated.
