11 of the 12 pieces are in remarkably clean and have apparently never been used as planters. Only 1 of them, the Ty-Nee M-190 figure, has signs of being used as a planter (some dirt inside). The other 11 are very, very clean with no soil.

Overall vibrant condition with shiny overglaze and no major chips, cracks, or repairs. As is normal with mid-century Japanese ceramics, expect tiny pinhead manufacturing glaze pops and minor flea-bites to the fragile spaghetti porcelain trim upon very close inspection. All stoppers are present. Stored in a clean, smoke-free environment.

I\'ve done my best to inspect and describe the items as accurately as possible, but I am not an expert in this trade. PLEASE EXAMINE THE PHOTOS VERY CLOSELY.

Fragile vintage ceramics require meticulous handling. Every single figurine will be wrapped individually in large-bubble cushioning, isolated from adjacent pieces, and packed with ample void-fill inside a sturdy, heavy-duty shipping box. Shipped promptly via USPS Ground Advantage or UPS Ground with tracking and full insurance included.
