I SOLD A VERY SIMILAR SET RECENTLY you can see in the completed items showing as sold for $950 & there are no other sets on eBay & the only other ones online anywhere are $1400 each, so I'm not planning to lower the price any time soon if at all.

ITEM- IGMA Artist Jane Graber Dollhouse Miniature 16pc Blue Stoneware Bird Dinner Set in 1:12th Scale

NOTE- eBay's new picture system makes all photos look fuzzy until you zoom or click on them.

DESCRIPTION-  Offered here is an original 1:12 Scale Miniature Stoneware 16 piece Dinner Set in a Bird on Branch pattern by Jane Graber.  We sold a very similar set recently.  There are 4 plates, 4 saucers (which were never sold separately that I know of but only came in these sets or with tea sets), 4 small bowls, & 4 cups. Each piece was hand thrown on a full-size pottery wheel, dried, fired at low temp, then painted by hand by Jane, then glazed, & fired again.  She no longer does shows so her pieces are even more highly prized & only a small number of these sets were made each year & in different patterns. 


MAKER- Jane Graber, is a member of the IMGA (International Guild of Miniature Artisans), & has made miniature replicas of 18th and 19th-century American salt-glaze stoneware for more than 40 years since 1981, hand-throwing each piece on a potter's wheel, then painting and signing her work. She is internationally recognized for her craft, has been featured on the cover of Ceramics Monthly & in many other magazines, and regularly did solo and group shows in the U.S. and England until retiring from shows last year. Her work is extraordinary; she is widely recognized as the best living miniaturist potter & without question is definitely the best in terms of stoneware & redware.


CONDITION-  Everything is in perfect condition. 


SHIPPING/INSURANCE- Shipping by first class includes full insurance, but if you'd like to be sure you receive it in less than a week, upgrade to Priority & we will still cover full insurance as our cost.  Insurance is quite high now, but unlike many eBay dollhouse sellers, we don't leave it to chance, we always FULLY insure every item we don't have exact duplicates of, as that's the seller's responsibility.

RETURNS & BUYER PROTECTION- These terms are legally binding. The eBay buyer protection program fully guarantees you will receive the item(s) you bought just as shown & described in this listing. We do not allow returns outside of the eBay buyer protection guarantee for any reason, because all that does is allow for buyers to return things for illegitimate reasons such as buyer's remorse or not reading the description, reasons that if we were somehow forced to do a return because of, would result in a 25% restocking fee. If we made a legitimate mistake that can be proven, then the eBay money back guarantee comes in. If there's damage, that's why we always fully insure any item (other than lesser items we have exact duplicates of).  Most buyers are honest & not intending to cheat sellers, but this way you are protected and so are we. We often set up in Philly & Chicago & have sold a huge amount of estate miniatures in the past 7 years. We want to be a trusted source for artisan dollhouse items on eBay & we have never received anything but positive feedback from dollhouse items we've sold, with no complaints so far anywhere. However, one buyer neglected to note the size, thought they were buying a full size cupboard despite the DH category, description with size, & pictures with a dime beside them & one of my hand holding it, so just know what you're buying & know there will be no returns for not looking at pictures & reading the description. And if there is anything you're not sure about, write to ask BEFORE buying & we will send any additional pics or photos or measurements you need so there is no confusion. After you buy without writing, that is on you. We want to make every reasonable buyer happy so they come back again! Thanks for looking.
