Good used antique condition, no chips or cracks. Minor to moderate marks/signs of use throughout, mainly to the centre of the saucer where the cup would usually sit. A little loss to the gold guilding in the centre of the saucer. Some fine crazing to the underside of the cup.

My Promise to You.
Every order will be packaged with care and attention to ensure its safe delivery to you. Sometimes (when possible) i re-use certain packaging materials so long as they are still viable and clean. Not only does this save on costs which in turn enable me to offer competitive postage prices, but its also more friendly for the planet.
In the very unlikely event that there is a problem please contact me and i will ensure that any problems are rectified in a respectful and timely manner.
Combined Postage:
Where possible i will combine postage for multiple purchases (which is almost always possible unless the orders are exceptionally large and/or heavy). There are two ways to combine postage.
If you purchase multiple items and payment is made i will refund you the postage discount as soon as i possibly can.
OR you can withhold payment until i can send you an invoice with the total to pay minus the postage discount.
International Customers:
Most of my items are listed with eBay's Global Shipping Programme for simplicity. This enables me to ship efficiently to most parts of the world. Unfortunately postage cannot be combined for international customers.
