Please remember when buying vintage items that they may have flaws. They are often one-off items we'll never see again and that's what makes them so special. I photograph all my items as best as I can and my phone often accentuates flaws and magnifies photos bigger than the item appears, so you can best see it. You may be pleasantly surprised when any flaws I point out or you see are not very noticeable to the human eye when you receive the item. If you notice anything I have missed, please feel free to ask questions. I hope you enjoy this pre-loved piece of china as much as the person who once owned it.
