We can do better prices on the website, as we are not paying the ebay commission.
Description.
Painted, in the classic factory style, with a loose bouquet of garden flowers. Reticulation consisting of overlapping circles. Twig handles. Applied floral decoration, both to the handles and the body of the piece. The applied decoration served, in part, the purpose of strengthening the peace. Unmarked, but this is a known Worcester shape.
Condition.
In excellent antique condition. One of the applied flowers has been broken, but this was evidently factory damage, as the florets that would otherwise have appeared on the applied piece have been painted onto the body of the item. One or two minor stress cracks, dating from production. No apparent chips, cracks or restoration.
Dimensions.
25 cm in diameter.
Please see our other items, arranged by category in our shop. We generally have several hundred items listed on eBay. We have many other items listed elsewhere. If you have a particular collecting sphere, or simply wish to know about all of the stock, please contact us.
We use recycled packaging. It may not look pretty, but it helps our environmental footprint!
We do not offer combined postage.
If the postage policy specifies that postage is included, we will send by tracked postage, rather than tracked and signed. If you wish for the latter, please let us know. There will be an additional charge which we will notify to you.
When we send by tracked alone the item will be at your risk from the point that we can prove, by means of showing a delivery confirmation, that it was delivered to your premises. Until that point, the item will be at our risk.
We are prepared to deliver all over the world, except (for obvious reasons, given the Russian state's unprovoked acts of aggression in Ukraine) to Russia.
We aim to ensure that our descriptions are absolutely accurate. Nevertheless, antique porcelain is never perfect. We use high definition photography with the aim of making the condition of any item extremely clear. Defects which are obvious in the photography we use are deemed to have been declared, even if we do not specifically refer to them in the description. An example of such a defect would be crazing-but we do not regard fine crazing as being a defect. If crazing is a particular issue for you, please let us know and we will then report as to whether there is any.
Restoration is sometimes extremely difficult to detect. We use UV light and transmitted light to check whether restoration has occurred. Sometimes, even those methodologies do not reveal restoration. If you are able, notwithstanding the definition, to show that restoration of a significant nature has occurred, we would obviously allow cancellation of the sale in such circumstances.
