The items we are selling are pre-owned, vintage or antique, and, as such, are subject to wear consistent with age and use. We have tried to accurately describe any damage or issues that may impact the value of the piece. Flaws or inconsistencies that occurred during the manufacture of the piece - often times under less than ideal conditions - are not considered to be damage and will not be listed.
Examples of this may include, but are not limited to:
Glass items - straw marks, mold marks, dirt and/or ash fired into the body of the ware, air bubbles, color variations, size variations, pattern irregularities, scratches on the base, etc.
Pottery items - uncleaned seam lines, nicks or chips in the clay body that have been painted/glazed over when first produced, errant brush strokes, dirt and/or debris fired in the glaze, small glaze pops, kiln kisses, color variations, etc.
DAMAGE IN SHIPPPING!
If the item has been insured and if the item arrives damaged please make a claim directly with the U.S. Post office web site USPS.com. It is very easy and will save you the return postage on completely or partially damaged items.
