CHRISTOFLE SILVER PLATE – FRANCE

MAGNUM

8-1/4” WINE COOLER/CHAMPAGNE BUCKET

DESCRIPTION: Just in time for the upcoming Holidays is this stunning silver plate wine cooler or bucket by renown silversmith Christople of France. I'm quite sure that this is the Magnum pattern - it does have the thicker rolled over edge and two horizontal rows of 4 raised lines that encircle the bucket (none on the handles). Heavy & solid. This was acquired from the estate of a lady that like fine quality entertaining and purchased items to reflect that.

SIZE/WEIGHT: 8-1/4” tall; 7-1/2”diameter opening; 6” base. Total weight prior to packing: 4 lbs. 1.9 oz.

CONDITION: Very good vintage used. Recently polished, but could use a bit of detailing. It does show some surface wear, scuffing & scratches commensurate with age & use. NO dents; rim does show some very minor dinging from use. Interior has some discoloration in the well. Please look ALL of the pictures over carefully as they are part of the description.

MARKS: Stamped on base with oval OC mark, Christofle, the OC Rook mark and the #'s 3 & 0 – placing this item between 1935 & 1983.

ETC: I don't accept returns...so...Please! read the descriptions and condition issues carefully! Most of the items that I sell are vintage or used and should not be expected to be in like new condition unless otherwise stated. If you have any questions about something that isn't clear to you, PLEASE contact me PRIOR to placing a bid. I'm happy to answer any questions or supply you with more pictures.

SHIPPING TERMS:

A NOTE ABOUT SHIPPING COSTS: As USPS postal rates continue to increase, I want my buyers to know that I do not make ANY profit from shipping costs. Your package will be shipped as inexpensively as a well-packed item allows. You are charged exactly what the Post Office charges me to print my shipping labels online. If I’ve overestimated the shipping costs, any excess will be refunded to your PayPal account…underestimated, I’ll absorb the difference.

Buyer to pay shipping based on buyer’s zip code. Items will be shipped USPS Priority Mail to insure safe, intact delivery to you, unless I determine that they would ship safely via a less expensive option.

Your item (s) will be packed extremely well. Insurance will be included on all items over $25. EXCEPTION: No insurance available on 1^st Class International OR Priority International Small Flat Rate Box.
You are responsible for making sure both your eBay and PayPal shipping addresses are correct before I print shipping labels. If your package is returned, you will be responsible for reshipping fees.
With the theft of packages on the rise, I recommend following the tracking info to make sure you or someone else is home to receive your package or leave a note on your door to have it delivered to a neighbor. Or have your package delivered to your office. Better safe than sorry.
Let me know if you are bidding on more than one item ~ I am always happy to combine shipping whenever possible, although due to weights and packaging, this may or may not save money.

IMPORT DUTIES, TAXES AND CHARGES ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE ITEM PRICE OR SHIPPING CHARGES. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility. Prior to bidding or buying, it is advisable to check with your country’s customs office to determine what these additional costs will be. These charges are normally collected by the delivering carrier, or when you pick the item up ~ do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.

I will not mark merchandise values below the final sales price or mark items as “Gifts”. U.S. and International government regulations prohibit such actions. I truly appreciate the international community’s business! Thank you for understanding!
