BEAUTIFUL Flow Blue Tureen. Made by Grimwades. De Olde Willow Stoke on Trent England. Excellant condition with 4 tiny flea bites on rim that have a rust color to them. Will probably come out with a rust type cleaner. (up to new owners) Shown in pic number 6. Tureen is 11 3/8 from outside handle to outside handle. And about 6" wide and about 5" tall with lid and 2 5/8 without lid. One the bottom you will also see (if you buy it that is..hehe) what looks like REX imprinted into the porcelain? Over all crazing that is not serious. Ok, having named the flaws, PLEASE, dont let me make it sound like t is anything wrong with it. I list EVERYTHING POSSIBLE to assure you of my good intensions. This is a BEAUTIFUL piece. In Near EXCELLANT condition. As best I can figure out thru lots of research, I believe it to be made in the very early 1900's IF NOT, the late 1800's. I am no expert with flow blue type dinner ware ect. So trust me that I am only giving you my best from what i have researched. No cracks anyw to be found!!! That says alot for a 100 year olf item as this (give or take a few years maybe) PLEASE LOOK AT MY PICS and ask questions if needed. I will help you all I can. LOW LOW starting bid of 9.99... YES 9.99!!! and NO RESERVE EITHER!! Thanks for looking.. We both started (Mr & Mrs Pack_Ratz) collecting various pcs of pottery and Fenton glassware a few yrs back. Not long ago enough to w we got them cheap like many of yas did. Yes, we paid a fairly good price for most all of our pottery. Thats why we must start them at or close to what we paid for them. We are not rich folks, just trying to make ends meet. And they dont always! So with that in mind, i hope you can understand why I must start my auctions a bit higher than I'd like. Heck, its even alot more fun starting low and watching it climb. But it dont always climb and to GIVE a precious item away for next to nothing hurts both financially, Plus.. heck, we'd much rather keep it and enjoy it, than just give it away for less than we paid for it.. Thanks for understanding... A word about Feedback: While looking at many many other great sellers feedback, I have noticed that probably 80% of any negative FB they have recieved (and these are sellers with like 99.9% perfect FB) is from NEW EBAYERS, Newbies with 20 or less deals on ebay. Why is this I wondered? Maybe it just takes time for them to realize that good sellers DO make mistakes and that this is not a perfect world. After time they might realize that these sellers do work VERY HARD to maintain a perfect FB record and that maybe they should at the very least, give them a chance to FIX THINGS before posting less than POSITIVE FB. Paq_Ratz would VERY MUCH appreciate you at least allowing us the chance to make things right, should we ever make a goof up. We're only Human (well, close...hehe) But we ARE HONEST humans, so if something is wrong with an item you won from us.. besure its an HONEST MISTAKE, PLEASE PLEASE Allow us to make things right with you.. Thanks much! Now if you'd be kind enough to read the rest of my long boring stuff.. Hey.. HAVE FUN! Thanks for looking at our stuff. Good Luck and have FUN! ENJOY your visits thru ebay, make this a fun place, get to know new friends, learn about new things from all over the world. Maybe some sellers need to ease up a bit on always being so serious and "I'm the BOSS attitude" lighten up, have fun, you can still sell items and make some extra cash. Life is to short to waste away everyday in a ugly mood. And for the buyers... give these hard working sellers a bit of respect for their efforts. The're only human and dont hold them accountable for every glaze pop or flea bite ect. You can tell when someone is trying to pull a fast one. MOST wont! OK... I've said some of what needs to be said. HAVE FUN! Ohh, and bid on MY STUFF!! hehehe Our Policy Sorry to HAVE to have a policy. Its so simple and painless. But it IS POLICY! UNless you pay with paypal within 12 hours, we REQUIRE that you please send us an email t... read more
