Well, well, what have we here? Up for bid is this gorgeous porcelain cylinder vase, made in Japan "expressly for Hudson's" department store. It is beautifully decorated in a repeating pattern of blue cranes over abstract water. The vase stands about 7-7/8" tall, with an upper diameter of around 4-3/4". It comes to you in excellent vintage condition, with light surface wear commensurate with use as a display for dried flowers, including overall minor scuffs of purple color transfer on the interior, but no discernible damage like chips, fractures, or crazing. What a beautiful addition to your home décor!
The cold, hard truth, aka shipping & handling terms: As projected by eBay's shipping calculator, domestic shipping costs on Priority packages reflect USPS counter price--with First Class parcels being a close estimate of actual price within the fluctuating per-ounce rate--plus $0.73 in my handling fees. This handling fee not only contributes toward the obvious selling expenses of bubble wrap, boxes, printer ink, and tape, but more significantly towards the steep selling fees imposed by Ebay on your total invoice (sale price + tax + shipping). Even the sale of a $5 dollar mug will incur me over $2 in fees--the higher the cost and weight of the item, so too the fees. Because my sales are primarily based on lower-ticket items, I would not be able to afford to stay in business without this buffer. Thank you for supporting small business!
Mix it, match it, throw it in your basket! I am happy to combine shipping on multiple purchases, so if you'd like, please take a look at my other auctions. A shipping & handling fee might apply on my other items.
Woof, woof, meow! This item is passing through a smoke-free, dog-happy, and cat-friendly home. Thanks for looking and happy bidding!
