The Water Margin Treasure Set

I very much enjoy shopping at Yellow Mountain. I was disappointed in this particular product and did return it. I felt the carving and painting on the tiles were too delicate and hard to see. The paint was also smudged on some of the tiles. Because I did not remove the protective clear plastic from around the tiles I was able to return the product which I appreciate very much. I will continue to be a customer at Yellow Mountain. I have been very pleased with all my other purchases.

Heirloom set that you will need to pass on.

The hand painting makes it truly beautiful.

The set is exquisite you will need to find someone to take it from the owner when they are finished with it.

If you live in a dry climate find a way to keep the tiles from drying and from cracking. If you live in a humid climate you will need to keep them dry and from getting moldy and swelling.
