Antique EAPG Glass Blue Fig Salt Shaker Mt. Washington

I've heard of black figs, green figs, purple figs, a pale blue fig  is a new variety for me.  Ohh, it's a piece of glass we're talking about!!  That changes it, I don't have to eat it, just display it, cool!  Mt. Washington fig pattern, blue overall tint, handpainted 5 petal raised enamel flowers and lots of leaf and stem and detail paint.  I counted seven little dots either off or chipped, check out the closeups, supersize and see all.  No other chips or cracks, no scratches, original top.  No wear, or abrasions, only the cluster of missing dots, could have happened in manufacture???  2-1/2" tall from bottom bulge to pointy top.  2-1/2" diameter. 

PLEASE  READ THE DESCRIPTION!   ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU BID! I try to note as much as I can,  I certainly take enough pictures, I am always happy to answer any questions you may have.  I note the chips, photo the chips if at all possible, will work with you most any way I can.    I think I have the greatest group of people who follow these auctions, bid with rare abandon and pay so quickly that sometimes I don't even get a chance to send out an invoice.  I enjoy answering the questions, actually learn something almost every time I do,  and hopefully will list better because of those questions.  

One more thing, about shipping charges:  I charge a flat rate of $7.75 for each auction, insurance is included.  If your win is over $250, signature confirmation is required, add another $2.50.   If you buy 2 pairs of shakers, unfortunately that means you have 4 individual shakers, if I can safely put them in the 7x7x7 box, I will ship and price accordingly. If they have to go in the 12x12x9 box, shipping won't be much of a discount, if any. Buy one more to make it worthwhile!  If you have multiple wins and I send several boxes, I will try to make sure to keep the totals under the magic $250.00 so we don't have to do signature confirmation.  Combined shipping for multiple wins can be tricky, I have to figure weight, number of shakers and their shape and size, figure out which box they will ship safest in.  For instance, I usually can get 7 individual shakers in a 12X12X9.  Needless to say this is the way to go if there are enough shakers that you are interested in buying.  If I mess up and send you an incorrect combined shipping charge, let me know and I will either send a new invoice, or, if you have already paid, I can send an appropriate refund.  Please wait for my invoice, Auctiva's invoices tend to NOT show combined charges the way I want them to (oh-my-word high sometimes)..... 

Just got back from vacation, found two more boxes of shakers.  Looks like there may be a few mates for some of the shakers that I sold earlier this year.  I will restart the auctions slowly so I can get back into the swing of things and throw off the summer lazies without shocking my system!!

I have discovered that things work best for me when I list once a week, so now I try to get 15-20 items listed and ready to auction by Sunday night.  I have enjoyed this experience so far, it is actually fun to let a collection go back out to new collectors who will enjoy it.  I hope you find some bargains, I hope you find some things you can't live without, and I hope we all have a great time.  When I mess up a description, let me know, I do not have a problem with correcting myself.  I will answer any questions to the best of my ability and PLEASE, take advantage of the supersize feature on the pictures. 

 I love to combine shipping, please see my shipping information below to get a general idea of what combined shipping will cost you.

Please ask any questions you might have, I will answer to the best of my ability.  Please also look at pictures carefully, I think they will tell you more about the pieces than I can.
