Small red seal marks are present within the decoration of several cups but are not clearly legible. The cups are presented in a red fabric-lined box. Additional items include two pairs of green stone chopsticks in a presentation box and a boxed assortment of metal picks with dark handles, the box bearing the partial lettering en ess.
