?Unused?

As I had no opportunity to use it, it was wrapped in cushioning material and stored long-term in its original box at home.

The original box is not included.

A lucky charm, the kingfisher and plum blossoms are depicted in the Aote style.
The gold powder also adds a luxurious feel.
The kingfisher (jade) with its sharp expression and dignified face will straighten your back as you drink tea.

Please allow for slight errors as these are amateur measurements.

There is some roughness and scuffing from the pottery on the bottom from the beginning.

I do not see any peeling of the gold enamel, but there may be some dullness or fading due to age. While I personally feel it is in good condition overall for its age, there may be other signs of age-related deterioration that I have not noticed. Please judge based on the description and images.

Please understand that there may be initial manufacturing defects such as paint loss, color transfer, uneven coloring, paint splattering, variations in color intensity, pinholes (kiln pores), black spots, kiln marks, firing stains, pottery bumps, and dents.

As this is an amateur inspection, please understand that there may be overlooked details (minor scratches or small dirt from storage) that are not apparent to the eye, in addition to what is described.

Only those who understand and agree that this is an old item that has been stored at home for a long time, even though it is unused, should purchase.

Please refrain from purchasing if you are seeking perfect quality or are overly sensitive.

The color may appear different from the actual product due to the nature of your monitor, shooting environment, and lighting conditions.

It will be wrapped in cushioning material, packed in its original box or a cardboard box, and shipped via tracked Mercari delivery.
