Very elegant shape. Signed with acid stamp on underside; ground pontil. Approx. H: 6 5/8". I have a digital camera, so if you need different pictures than what I have provided, please feel free to ask.. As for condition, the vase is in very good condition. No chips or cracks. Typical age wear on the bottom. I'd say excellent condition, except there is just one small (1/8") open surface bubble on the side; fairly shallow; pictured. I believe it left the factory this way. Due to the primarily-opaque nature of the color, it is hard to see unless you're looking for it. I have included a picture of it under significant magnification and with the light glare positioned to provide maximum visibility so you can see exactly what I am talking about. A truly rare and special piece. Additional Terms of sale Payment: Ebay recently changed its payment policy encouraging electronic forms of payment only. Though I am setup to accept PayPal, I am still willing to accept Money Orders, Cashier's Checks, and Personal Checks. I just require such paper forms of payment to clear my bank before I ship the associated item(s). Payment should be completed electronically or postmarked within 7 days of the end of the auction unless other arrangements are agreed upon. Maryland buyers must add 6% sales tax unless purchase is over $200.00 and the purchaser has a valid Maryland resale tax number. I know, sounds strange, but that's Maryland law. Shipping: Buyer to pay estimated-actual shipping and insurance charges according to the USPS online calculator. What does "estimated-actual" mean? Simply this... I do my best to use the online estimator as accurately as possible. If the actual rate charged by the post office differs a little (it happens), then I do not come back to you a second time for additional shipping fees. If my estimate was low, I eat the difference. If my estimate was high, then there is no refund of the difference. History shows my error tends to be minimal, and my feedback backs that up if you read it. USPS Priority Mail rates fluctate significantly depending on zip codes ... especially if the distance between zip codes if 600 miles or more. Therefore, I will attempt to project the worst case shipping estimate during the auction. I request that you please not pay until after you have received an invoice from me as I can only customize each invoice for cost-effective shipping based on size, weight, and value of package after I know your mailing address. If you have a preferred method of shipping, please let me know and I will update the invoice accordingly. The initial invoice will assume shipment to a residential address. or P.O. box that accepts packages of the anticipated size. I try to ship as soon as possible after payment is received ... typically no later than the following Saturday. If I have indicated that I am willing to ship internationally, I still require payment in $US (U.S. Dollars) ... via PayPal. If this item is to be shipped internationally, I will not falsify shipping documents. I will not mark the customs form as "gift", so please do not ask me to do so. While you may be buying this item as a gift for someone, it is not a gift from me to you. Please be prepared to pay any associated import taxes / duties, etc. that may be imposed by your country's Government. If the item was originally manufactured in your country, I will note that the item is being returned to it's country of origin. This may help eliminate or minimize import taxes / duties when applicable. Other: Seller does not accept any escrow service ... my feedback should speak for itself.
