An absolutely stunning Mottahedeh Dipolomatic Eagle 8 1/2" x 8 1/4" shell dish made exclusively for the Diplomatic Reception rooms at the Department of State and copied from Chinese Export Porcelain from the early 19th century. Made in Portugal by Vista Alegre. It's in pristine condition with no chips, cracks or dings. Sunny Knoll Antiques has a constantly changing array of interesting items, so please
check our store for other great finds. Feel free to ask questions or additional photos. I'm always happy to combine
shipping, when it is safe to do so.
THE FINE PRINT: Most of
the items I sell are estate pieces. Accordingly, most always they will show some sign of use. I try
diligently to well describe each item I sell. My over 21-year 100%
positive feedback is a testament to that. eBay will automatically engage its bidder assistant
program on items that remain unpaid 8 days after the sale. I can only
ship to the address provided on your PayPal payment.
INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS: Delivery confirmation required. Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country' s customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up. Do not confuse them for additional shipping charges. I do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior. Please don't ask. The cost of insuring your item against breakage or loss will not be reflected in your postage label, because I use a third-party insurer.
IN CASE OF DAMAGE: Items are well-packed and insured. In the unlikely event of your having to file a claim, photos of the breakage and shipping box, along with packing materials must be provided to prove the item was well packed or my insurance company will limit coverage to $100. So if you have a problem, contact me immediately, and don't throw anything away!
