Blue Posies Handpainted Pottery Dish

Circa 1920-1930's

Excellent Condition

Marked France 'Zihado'

This dish is from my grandmother, it is very beautiful and special and very old. It hung on her wall and does have some wearing in three small spots on the reverse from the plate hanger, no bigger than 1/16" marks.

Also there are marks from where this piece was baked in the kiln. It is definitely a beautiful piece of art pottery from France.

On the reverse the marking above can be seen. There is no date or other marks.

There are no chips, crazing or cracks on the front of this plate and only the small chips mentioned above on the reverse.

It is White, blue with black. It measures 9" in diameter and has nice scalloped edging.

It would make a great gift....

NOTICE TO MY CUSTOMERS AND FUTURE CUSTOMERS:

HANDLING FEES: are based on time, materials, gas to post office and other overhead costs in running my EBAY store. If you are not comfortable with my handling fee, which is hardly an unreasonable amount, considering the effort I put forth on behalf of my customers, please don't purchase my items and then give me a low DSR rating in the Shipping and Handling category, without FIRST, notifying me, if you believe that I have made a mistake. I am not trying to make money on S&H fees.

That is just MEAN SPIRITED and hurts my auction's standings in the EBAY search function. Ebay is a personal sales site, I am not a Big Power Seller and can not afford to absorb the cost of shipment to you more than PayPal takes in its fees at check out.

On lower priced items this handling fee absorbs the fees associated with ebay listings, ebay fees and paypal fees that would otherwise make those particular listings and Item's availability on Ebay....not worth my effort or time. I also can not personally do anything about what the Post Office charges for mailing.

Please consider all of the above before giving me a low grade that lowers my search ranking...IT ONLY TAKES ONE TO THROW OFF MY ENTIRE AVERAGE....especially, when I as a seller am not even given the courtesy of the reason for the low rating, nor is it clear in the FEEDBACK, I do see.

I make a great effort to get your package to the post office in a TRULY EXPEDIENT MANNER and have been eating the additional postage costs when the shipping calculator on EBAY is not correct or my weight estimates are underweight, which happens frequently.

While online purchase of postage, does give a small 5 cent discount to users, this is engineered to cover the cost of my printer's ink, glue and paper used in the process!!! If you are concerned about Postage Costs, please email me prior to hitting the buy it now button, the postage calculator in known to make errors, which are not easily rectified after the fact.

Further, Please Note: Almost all the items that are sold in my auction are Vintage in Nature, even if they are new in the box....they are from my aunt's estate...I use my best ability to describe any faults I see, if you want more photos, please request them, I will be happy to provide them to you.

If an item is Mint to my eye, it still implies it has seen a baseline of wear due to it age.......VINTAGE. It has been around for awhile. Please ask any questions you have before bidding.

Also, if you have any complaints after purchase, please give me the opportunity to resolve them in a neighbourly manner prior to leaving me negative feedback....this has not yet occurred, but I would prefer it would not. Misunderstandings abound, in our world today, and while everyone is rushed, open discussion can elucidate what may at first appear to be a problem, IS ACTUALLY NOT. Thank you for Understanding.
