The Fine Print: Descriptions: I try to provide accurate descriptions, but it’s important to understand that I’m not an expert. Information is often derived from internet sources and may not be accurate. I list significant or noticeable defects, but I might miss something, so look at the photos. Also, measurements can be off a bit. Photos/Scans: These are an important part of the description. You need to examine them closely. If you see something you don’t like, there’s a good chance it’s still going to be there when you open the package. Still, it might be just a shadow or the lighting. Also, there might be something missing that you need to see. So, if it’s a deal breaker, please ask me about it before buying (or not buying). Note: a photo may contain unrelated items added for scale or ambiance, e.g., a U.S. half dollar (1.2") or dime (0.7”). Such items are not included in the sale. The sale includes only the item(s) detailed in the written description. Definitions: “Antique” means at least 100 years old (pre 1921), while “Vintage” means at least 50 years old (pre 1971). Often, this is just my estimate and should not be taken as an expert assessment. “Crazing” is a pattern of fine cracks that commonly develops, with age and thermal stress, in the glazing of ceramic items. Best Offer: Offers are welcome, but please do make it your best offer. I’ll assume it is. Free shipping isn’t negotiable because ebay will charge you the listed amount anyway. Delivery Time: The time given near the top of this listing is an eBay estimate – not mine and it is not guaranteed. The USPS does not guarantee delivery times for the First Class and Priority Mail shipments that I use because delays on their part are always a possibility. There’s rarely an issue with this but be aware. Sales Taxes: ebay will collect and remit your state’s sales tax on your purchase in accordance with applicable state law. My being in tax free New Hampshire won’t save you. Returns: items can be returned for a refund within 30 days. You may have to pay the return shipping. Feedback: I always leave feedback. Yours is appreciated. Questions: Asking is always easier and cheaper than having to pack something up and return it. If you see an error in this listing, please let me know. Corrections are welcome.
