After a careful examination, I did find some age-related wear, as expected for older vintage items.
* I noticed a small bit of the red paint missing from the upper, thin red band near the rim; I'm not sure if it ever had paint there.
* I also felt a tiny chip on both sides of the cup where the large pink flower is located -- it's hard to see these two spots, so I have included some close-up pictures.
* None of these detract from this tea mug's Pleasant Beauty!
Please be sure to review the pictures, as they are part of the Description.

PLEASE NOTE: I am NOT an expert on vintage, porcelain Chinese items.
I am improving but unfamiliar with the terminology and intricacies of antique and vintage collectibles specialties, so I use the advice of my more experienced cousins and Mom, Internet research, and personal observation to describe them to the best of my ability. I also am not knowledgeable about the hobby criteria for condition grading, so I try to apply common sense -- the conditions are not based upon any specific hobby standards.
So please use the attached pictures to form your own opinions.
Please contact me if you have specific questions, and I happily will answer them to the best of my ability!
