NOTE: Sometimes we sell a set of items (e.g. five cups, six plates) one by one. In this case we usually only take pictures of one of these items and use the same pictures for subsequent listings, unless there are any important differences (like e.g. damage).  Sorry, it is just too much work - we can't keep up.  If for any reasons you want to see the "exact" pictures of the object on sale, please e-mail us.
