THE ITEMS THAT I OFFER FOR SALE ARE USED, SECOND HAND, VINTAGE, COLLECTABLE OR ANTIQUE, RARELY NEW BUT SOMETIMES UNUSED.  I AIM TO PROVIDE ACCURATE DESCRIPTIONS OF MY ITEMS BUT I AM NOT AN EXPERT.

==================================================================

Please be aware that if the item you are buying is vintage glassware, the following will apply: I always inspect items in great detail and list any major faults such as cracks & chips in the description. You should expect some age related signs of wear such as very small fine surface scratches/marks. Many of the items are hand made, they may have small imperfections such as bubbles, inclusions & lumps within the glass and often tool marks from where they have been shaped and worked in the manufacturing process. These are not usually seen by collectors as faults or damage, but as part of the character of hand made glass and are not usually mentioned in the description.
