No Reserve. This is about 90 years old and almost certainly Dresden. It features a portrait of Josephine and has very nice gold gilding and floral garlands and swags. The cup is in excellent original condition and I thought the saucer was too, but t is a practically invisible hairline 3/4" long that you have to have the light just right to see. If I hadnt mentioned it most wouldnt notice...no kidding. Saucer is 3 3/4" across...the cup to the rim is 2" tall. The marks on this are supposed to be for Napoleon....the "N and Crown mark". But, it also happens to be a mark for Dresden, Capo-di-Monte, and some others. In any case it is extremely nice and of higher quality. WE SHIP WORLDWIDE are a list of my business preference/necessities.....nothing is engraved in stone, but I have to list this stuff for you to know how I transact business and look out for both our interests. Your interest is in my interest. 1. All items guaranteed as described to the best of my ability. Having said this...I sell antiques/vintage items 99% of the time.....so I may miss that micro-fleck or spot. But, I do my best to note any obvious value decreasing wear and tear. If I miss something, please bring it to my attention. 2. U.S. Shipping figured within continent and is via FedEx or USPS. Hawaii/Alaska via USPS and could cost a few dollars more than quoted in listing. Items going over $200 may require $2.50 fee for signature confirmation through FedEx on large items(for paypal transactions or per customer request). If you have problems with recieving packages please let me know . International shipping on items paid through paypal and less than $300 are shipped via USPS insured airmail(we can now track). Other specific mailing requests other than air and fully insured/EMS only if NOT paid via paypal(see below). I cannot declare items as gifts. INTERNATIONAL Pay via other than paypal and I can ship whatever method and without insurance or at value determined by purchaser but at purchaser's risk. Still cannot claim as gift. 3. Payment Receiving Preferences --- U.S. Transactions Personal checks/money orders or cashier checks accepted and preferred. Credit cards are accepted through paypal on U.S. shipped items(must be confirmed address through paypal). INTERNATIONAL ..... Accept Paypal on international transactions under $300 USD (except U.K./Canada which are good to $2000 USD on confirmed addresses only as THIS IS DUE TO PAYPAL POLICY). Items selling over $300 USD may require international money order for new international customers(mostly new or with bad feedback) that we have not dealt with, bank to bank wire transfer or other U.S. currency options such as cashier's checks etc. & any other options may be suggested by buyer. I am not responsible in any way for Buyer's customs taxes/import duties ....it is the Buyer's responsibility to know his or her import laws/duties etc. I will help any way I can, but I have to know in order to help. 4. I assist packing items when I have the time, so I can help defray costs. We do spend a lot on packing materials and labor though....boxes(less on this with USPS recently), bubble wrap, and packing peanuts, tape, printer ink/paper. You get the picture. THE ONLY REAL INSURANCE IS THE Quality OF PACKING which includes SKILL AND CARE OF THE PACKERS, and the MATERIALS USED TO PROTECT YOUR PURCHASE . I always use new and quality materials....and I charge a small materials and small labor fee that goes towards offsetting these costs. I wish it were free, but the costs seem to keep rising....not just materials, but especially the shipping. The average cost is 1 to 2 dollars per package, but I have spent over 10 dollars packing a large box(just the box was 5 bucks wholesale and I had to order 10 of them to get that price)! Insurance figures a part and as a convenience we pre-figure everything in for the buyer to make checking out easier. Occassionally we accidentally figure high...which means an item didnt go for what we though... read more
