This is a fabulous example of Aynsley porcelain.  With very attractive turquoise and white as the base colors, gold accent decorations, and lovely flowers and butterflies decorating the interior of the tea cup and a butterfly in the center of the saucer, this is a gorgeous cup and saucer.  Both pieces are in excellent condition, with no crazing/crackling, chips, cracks, flea-bites, or obvious flaws that I can see.

The cup has the number 2979 printed on the bottom of it in gold.  Pattern 2979 was made in at least three colors, and perhaps more;  I have been able to find Pink and Orange.

I welcome any questions you may have regarding this set, and I will answer to the best of my ability in as timely a manner as is possible.

Thank you for your interest.

Whether mentioned elsewhere in this listing or not, Free Local Pickup is always available.

**** PLEASE READ ALL MY POLICIES REGARDING CANCELED ORDERS AND RETURNS BEFORE PURCHASING. *****  

PAYMENT: 

I accept PAYPAL payments only. 

Please read the item’s description VERY carefully, several times, and study each picture closely as well, paying special attention to any defects described and/or pictured.  Also, please double check the item you are ordering prior to pressing PAY on Paypal.  This is very important, as the only circumstances under which I will refund your money is if my item is grossly misrepresented, and received in a condition not as described. 

REFUNDS: 

**** Any order or listing requesting a cancellation due to buyer’s remorse will not be refunded. I will always help a customer if the item is grossly misrepresented or not delivered due to an error on my part.  I make every effort to describe items thoroughly and completely, and bring to the customer’s attention any defects of which I am aware.  In the event it is appropriate to refund you your money, the amount refunded will be minus any Ebay, Paypal, and shipping costs.  The difference will then be refunded only if the conditions stated above are met. **** 

PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK YOUR DELIVERY ADDRESS ON YOUR PAYPAL ACCOUNT AND ON EBAY AND CONFIRM IT IS THE CORRECT ADDRESS as soon as you purchase to make sure your item gets to you. I cannot offer a refund or file a claim if your delivery address is incorrectly listed on either your Paypal account or Ebay account. 

SHIPPING & HANDLING: 

I will ship purchased items as soon as possible, my goal being to ship within 36 hours of receipt of payment.  I know you are anxious to receive your item, and I will make every effort to get it to you as soon as possible.  That being said, I am a single mom, and sometimes life happens (whether we want it to or not!)   Please do not hesitate to be in contact with me throughout the purchasing and shipping process.  My shipping rates are based on the United States Postal Service Flat Rate or actual weight Priority shipping costs to the continental United States.  If you request that I ship this item outside of the continental U.S. the shipping price will likely be higher. Please notify me before paying for your item so I can calculate the correct shipping cost for you. Frequently I will ship priority mail without flat rate if it will save you money.  I ALWAYS ship using a method that will afford some tracking.  If you wish me to mail using a different method, then you must specify that clearly to me before paying so I can calculate the correct shipping amount for you.  I do REQUIRE INSURANCE to be purchased on certain fragile or rare items, for your own protection.  I automatically REBATE ANY SHIPPING costs that exceed the actual cost of shipping by $1.00 or more VIA PAYPAL!  I will notify you immediately after posting the refund so that you can be on the lookout for it. 

I am ecologically conscious, and I reuse wrapping paper, tissue, and bubble wrap whenever possible.  If your item is a gift, or for some reason you wish me to use fresh packing materials, please specify that to me as soon as possible after payment in order to ensure my receipt of your request before packaging your item.  We do have a dog here, and many items have come from locations where I have no knowledge about possible environmental exposures. Whenever possible I will identify possible allergen exposure(s) within my listing. 

SERVICE AND MISSION: 

My highest priority is to provide you with superior quality, accurately described merchandise with exceptional customer service.  Please be in touch with me if you have any questions or concerns, and allow me the opportunity to resolve any issues that may arise.  My reputation is the standard by which potential customers measure my trustworthiness, and it is very important to me.  Rest assured that I will absolutely afford you the same opportunity and respect in return, and that I look forward to providing you with prompt, positive feedback. 

Thank you so much for your interest in this item, and I look forward to working with you.  To quote the movie Casablanca, “I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.” 

Thank you for shopping with me, and God Bless.
