This porcelain figure comes from the estate of a retired US military officer who lived in Europe after WWII. The estate included many items from Germany and Italy. I don't know for sure w this piece originated but I would guess Germany or Austria. T were two of these in the estate. Both of them have damage and/or repairs. I'll be listing the second one in the next couple of days. This Lipizzan horse measures about 11 1/8" tall. The base is about 7 1/4" by 3 1/2". As you can see, the left front leg is broken off. I believe it has been reglued at some time in the past. The left front leg, both lower back legs, and a portion of the tail have a white overcoat that looks like poor touching up of damage and/or repairs. I scraped on some of the white with a fingernail and the top layer came off revealing bare pottery beneath (back left leg outside). I don't see any sign of damage or repair to the rider, reins, stirrups or ears (which is surprising). This piece is being sold "as is". The leg could be reglued and it would display nicely from a distance, or it could be restored professionally to a highly collectible status. Please feel free to email with any questions prior to bidding. I try to give any information I have about the listings, and to tell you whether the information is fact or opinion. I have a "full refund option" (see returns below) policy for anything I misrepresent. My description will point out anything I believe could possibly be considered a flaw. For this reason, many past buyers felt that they received a better product than they expected. SHIPPING CHARGES: Flat fee shipping applies only to the contiguous 48 states. We use Priority Mail for lightweight and/or expensive packages, and Fedex Ground for heavier/larger shipments (our discretion). Fedex packages are picked up once a week so this may delay shipment as much as 5 business days. If you need faster shipment please email with your requirements (include zip code) and we'll let you know what the options are. A TELEPHONE number is required for many online shipping labels so please include it with payment. Insurance is included in the flat shipping price. Alaska and Hawaii, please email for a quote. Pick up in Ocala, FL is always an option. IF COMBINED SHIPPING SEEMS HIGH PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO EMAIL FOR A QUOTE. INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS: You can use the drop down in the shipping calculator to choose your country and calculate shipping. Because of the additional time involved with paperwork, and finding a suitable box, for shipping internationally, $2 handling is included. I do need a TELEPHONE number from you in order to print an online shipping label. As a result of lost packages to certain countries our int'l auctions will only offer shipping methods that offer insurance. Global Express Mail, if offered, includes $100 insurance. Letter post does not offer any insurance. If requested, smaller items with a final sale below $50 may offer air letter post at the sole discretion of Mimis E-Treasures. We would require the buyer to have excellent feedback history, and to understand that he/she takes full responsibility for the shipment. At this time we do not ship furniture overseas. CUSTOMER SERVICE-FEEDBACK: Once you examine your purchase, please leave positive feedback to confirm receipt and satisfaction. If you encounter any problem with your service or product, I ask that you contact me so that I have the opportunity to resolve the issue. The three negative feedbacks that I have received (in 6 years) were left by buyers who did not contact me. Tfore, I will not consider the transaction complete until I know that you have received the product and are happy with it, or any problem has been resolved to your satisfaction. Once complete, I will happily leave positive feedback for you. RETURNS: I try very hard to describe every flaw and/or detail I can find on items.
