CONDITION:
~ is excellent, no overt damage. The colors are bright, no chips, cracks, damage or repairs to the ceramic. The little knit 'cap' egg cozies are clean, no holes or stains, and complete with their pom-poms and brass bells. The Santa shaker has a glazed-over manufacturing flaw firing crack near the cork stopper ~ as shown in our photos.
The box is complete, but does have some light staining, old cello tape residue, scuffs and wear to the edges, and some dents and bends. The corners appear split, but that is how they were constructed, with staples instead of glued flaps.
