The bottom of the tray has some hairline cracks on it which you can see somewhat in the close up picture of the bottom of the tray. (Plate holder is not included) The teapot measures approximately 3.5" tall x 4.75" spout to handle x 3" front to back. A five-toed dragon is on one side and a phoenix is on the other.

The bottom rims of a couple of the cups have slight
