I make every attempt to disclose in the description and photos any wear, tear, or damage that i note on every item and i always list dimensions and materials somewhere on the listing so please read thoroughly and look at each photo. To decrease my costs and be green conscious i also reuse boxes and packing materials as much as possible. I spend a small fortune for bubble wrap and packing peanuts so please pass it on and reuse them, also. This item is made of porcelain and paint, glaze.
