Good condition. This extremely rare handleless cup has microscratches from use all around the ivory/bone china. The logo is in good condition, with a few minor scuffs running across it, as shown. Not noticeable unless you hunt for them. A small area of rust stains opposite the logo, on the bottom of the outside, as pictured. These are near a chip on the foot rim, which has been lovingly repaired with a sealant, as shown in pictures. Stamps on the underside are legible and in good condition — CC-12 Syracuse China. See pictures for details. Any vintage preowned item will have wear and discoloration from use, display, storage, and time.
