Condition Report (Honest Vintage)
We believe in love at first sight, but we also believe in total transparency! This set is in good vintage condition and has been lovingly preserved over the decades.
The Good: There are no major cracks or crazing.
The gorgeous gilded gold details and deep cobalt colors remain incredibly vibrant with minimal to no vintage fading. It looks just as striking today as it did decades ago!
The Character Marks: There is a small, noticeable chip at the very tip of the teapot spout. It doesn't take away from the overall beauty, but it tells a story of past tea times.
On the bottom of the 2.5-inch cups, you will see some signs of vintage shelf wear and label sticker fade/residue. Back in the day, these sets were imported with foil or paper stickers instead of stamps. Three of the cups still wear the faint "ghost shadows" of their original labels—a true nod to their authentic vintage journey!
