Pieces were commonly made by hand, up to 100 years ago. There may be variations in color and size. Over time sets may have been refurbished to mitigate wear and tear. The wood, bone and bamboo pieces may not all match perfectly in size, as most were carved, crafted and assembled by hand, this also includes the wooden storage boxes. Bone pieces may display haversian system and other natural cracks and markings. Do not wet the tiles, water based paints are usually used on these tile sets.Please read the description and look carefully at my photographs, photos are part of my description, see photos for details.
