Very nice mini butter dish/cheese tray. Brand is Mepra 1810 stainless steel, made in Italy. Has some weight to it. Shipping cost is based on your location, size and weight of box item is shipped in. If you feel shipping cost is to high let me know what your zip code is and I can see if there is a cheaper option. Shipping is done by USPS, I choose cheapest option when listing but shipping will be USPS. I do combine shipping if you buy more than one item from my store. Any questions please do not hesitate to ask.
