This lead crystal handcut glass bowl is NEW in the original box and the box is solid with writing on the lid!! Quoted shipping charges are based on the farthest zone from me, so if you live in closer proximity to Greensboro, NC, the cost will go down!! I refund overcharges less a small packing & handling fee, so even if you pay the quoted charge you will not be overcharged!! BUT PLEASE WAIT FOR INVOICING to maximize your potential refund as eBay now charges a final value fee on the shipping too! Please see my many other art glass and collectible listings and email me with any questions!!
