It is therefore entirely normal for these items to show signs of wear, patina, cracks, old repairs, or other alterations related to their history and traditional use. By proceeding with the purchase, the buyer acknowledges having reviewed the condition of the item based on the unretouched photographs provided and accepts its specific characteristics linked to its age.
We remain at your disposal to meet you in person in Taiwan (by appointment), provide further information (photos, videos, etc.), or organize a video conference to present the item of your choice.
