Rare Antique Neoclassical Egyptian Revival

 Pottery Teapot 

Pre Civil War Era Germany

 Marked JM?  Johann Maresch?

This came with a small collection of FGW Ferdinand Gerbing Witwe Pottery made pre-civil war era in the area of Germany that is now the Czech Republic.  This is the same type of pottery but the mark looks like JM although the M is hard to read.  This is definitely a Neoclassical Egypian Revival piece though and if it is Johann Maresch pottery it is becoming increasingly popular and expensive.

Happy Collecting !!!!!

Be sure and Take Advantage of our

 Volume Purchase Discounts 

and our 

Combined Shipping Rates  !!!!!

 

Normally, volume discounts apply to multiple items from the same listings but mention my volume discount rates when ordering a number of items from different listings, such as 3 different items from 3 separate listings, and I will honor that volume discount in the form of a partial refund as eBay is not set up for that. If I am having a sale, you will get whichever gives you the highest discount. Buy 2 for 5%, 3 for 10%, 4 for 15%, and 5 for 20%. 

Condition:   This is very old and it looks its age. There is paint wear or flaking on this teapot, showing the underlying pottery color. There are two chips, one on the bottom edge and one on the top rim of the teapot. There is a spiderweb crack on the bottom also. That is not bad for being over 160 years old. See Photos.   There may always be small manufacturer's defects or microscopic blemishes or flaws consistent with age and use which is to be expected in antique and vintage items.  Rest assured that any major issues will always be both documented and photographed to the best of my ability. Be sure and check the photos as they are an integral part of the description and do a much better job of showing condition issues than what I can explain through the use of the written word. Use the magnification tool and feel free to ask questions.

Photographs are a vital part of the description:  If any issue....a scratch, chip, blemish, smudge, crazing, soiling, scuff, crack, hole, bubble, bump, roughness, manufacturer's flaw.....anything....shows up in the photos, even if it is not spelled out in my written condition section, it is part of the description and cannot be used for a 'not as described complaint'.  I am an old lady with fading eyesight, and I do sometimes miss things that the photos catch, or maybe there are other defects that I feel are more important to point out in the written word.  Ebay only gives us so much space for our condition description, so we must prioritize.  If you see something in the photos or in the description that bothers you, by all means, point it out and ask me about it before you commit to buying.

Disclaimer:  Photographs showing the item next to a ruler or tape measure are there to show scale only and usually will not show exact  measurements due to the fact that there is usually a perspective issue.  Please always go by my stated measurements rather  than guessing at the exact sized based on the photos.  Note: Because of the way computers and cell phones are set to interpret colors that show on their monitors, and because  of people's perceptions of color descriptions, the colors you see on your screen may not be exactly the colors you will get but might appear a bit darker or lighter or a shade or two different in tinge. I will always do my best to show colors as  close to reality as I can get them but keep that in mind when you make your orders, as, although I accept returns, I WILL NOT accept a small difference in color shades as a reason for a 'not as described' claim when asking for a return. Of course, if I say that something is black and it turns out to be red, then obviously the fault is mine and the 'not as  described' claim will be accepted. Shipping window changes:  I am a 72-year-old lady who lives quite a way out in the country.  I also have  chronic pain syndrome.  I choose a longer shipping window so that I can choose the best weather days, and best  health days to make the trip into town where I run as many errands as I can including mailing your packages.  It Is Important that if you do need your item in a hurry for a birthday or special occasion, that you let me know  and I will be happy to do my best for you.
