One cup has a small rim nick or rough spot, and the pieces show minor firing and decoration irregularities. Vintage character is included—factory perfection is not. Includes only the two cups and two soup spoons shown. Condition: Pre-owned vintage condition with light surface wear and minor glaze and decoration irregularities.
