DESCRIPTION This 17 1/2" X 14" Blue Willow deep platter was most likely made between 1860 and 1880 by Wood & Barker in Staffordshire, England. This platter is in excellent condition for its age and is 1 3/4" high. The only thing noted is a tiny sliver off the edge of the glaze as shown, might even be a glaze miss. Rings like bell and colors are vibrant with minimal utensil marks. T is shelfwear to the bottom as would be expected of a piece this age. You won't find one nicer than this! Insurance is required. Always happy to combine shipping. PLEASE DO READ THE FINE PRINT! I want to make this transaction as hassel-free for both of us as I possibly can. Your reading information that I have provided on shipping and handling fees and payment and invoicing will be greatly beneficial to that process! By placing a bid, you are indicating your acceptance of these policies and processes. Most of the items I sell come from estate/yard sales, flea markets, etc. Accordingly, they most always will show some signs of use. I try diligently to well describe each item I sell. My 10-year 100% positive feedback is a testament to that. You can review my condition rating system on my about M E page, which I encourage you to do, since "good condition" is a matter of interpretation among sellers. If I am not an expert in an area, I will so state, and you should ask questions accordingly. Just as in a live auction, all sales are fina l, unless I have seriously misrepresented a piece. In the unlikely event of that happening, I will gladly refund the auction price and initial shipping cost. Buyer's remorse doesn't count! No returns will be accepted on items sold "as is." If you are new to eBay with less than 5 feedbacks , PLEASE contact me prior to bidding and indicate that you have familiarized yourself with my payment and shipping policies and procedures. Sorry, but I find myself having to file 2-3 nonpaying bidder alerts each month, which costs me time and money and keeps my items off the market for an extended period of time. Please do not bid if you don't intend to buy and please ask any questions before you bid. IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT FEEDBACK Because of the way eBay's feed-back page is designed, many buyers are not aware than anything less than a 5-star DSR rating on a transaction lowers a seller's visibility on eBay and increases their eBay fees. Even though the feedback page clearly states that a "4" is for good service , it IS NOT GOOD for hard-working sellers! Powersellers must maintain a 4.8 DSR in every category. If you feel that you've gotten a quality item at a fair price, that I've sent you an invoice in a timely fashion, that my shipping charges are never more and often less than the shipping calculator estimates, that I carefully wrap and ship your item(s) within one business day of receipt of your payment, for which I've thanked you and sent you tracking information, I ask that you please give me a 5-star feedback, which I will immediately return. Thanks! SHIPPING AND HANDLING FEES The last change in postal rates resulted in a HUGE increase in sending priority mail boxes out of zone, especially in boxes that are larger than a #7 box. Please use the postage calculator to determine what your shipping costs will be. If insurance is required on an item, that amount will be included in the estimate, as will handling fees. I charge $1.50 to pack #4 priority mail and small flat rate boxes and $2.00 to pack a #7 box and large flat rate box. If I must purchase a special box to ship your item, I will pass that cost on to you. I can assure you this only helps to defray the ever-increasing cost of the petroleum-based materials I use to pack your item extremely well. In 2007 my cost of packing materials exceeded my handling fees by $987 and did not take into account my time. My careful packing with quality products ensures your items will arrive safe and sound. I am happy to combine shipping. Sorry, but Paypal requires I use signed delivery confirmation on item... read more
