This is a rare find indeed!  Especially in the complete set.  Hazel Atlas 16 pc. complete set of  gorgeous children's Little Hostess Tea set.

The "HA" marking is on the bottom of each piece.  The colors are burgandy, green, yellow, and gray as originally sold in the 40's.

4 plates, 4 saucers, 4 tea cups, sugar, creamer, tea pot and lid.

 I received these as a gift from my grandmother and so I have owned these since I was very very young.  I stored them or displayed them in a glass case for all these years - almost 30 years as I was really young. The original box is no longer around as most of these boxes deteriorated unfortunately.  I know these are extremely  collectible and I can see why as they are adorable.  These are selling by antique dealers for $200 and up for complete sets, and sell in auctions for over $130.  I am trying to raise money to pay for my daughter's pre-professional ballet training and so thank you in advance for looking and to the winning buyer.  That is why I am pricing the set to sell competitively and quickly with free shipping.

These are such great condition.  PURCHASE WITH  BUY IT NOW PRICE and I WILL SHIP FOR FREE - INSURANCE INCLUDED!

The plates and sugar and creamer have no chips or breaks. 

The cup in the photo below shows  the only  un-natural flaw  on the cups (by this I mean all glass when made has  swirls and  variations)-

there is a tiny soft not sharp piece missing. I wanted to get close so it could be seen as it is very hard to see so the

photo is fuzzy - sorry about that.

The lid of the  teapot has about a 1/8-1/4" soft not sharp chip out but it is under the lip and not visible unless you take

it off and look for it.     

Because I have had a lot of trouble with buyers on Ebay that don't pay or follow the important steps of paying correctly to insure all parties are safe I now have these rules:

I WILL NOT SELL TO ANYONE that has a Non- Paying Bidder's Strike

I WILL NOT SELL TO ANYONE that has under 5  feedback comment WITHOUT prior communication/approval from me. 

I WILL REMOVE ANY BIDS THAT ARE FROM BUYERS THAT FIT THESE DESCRIPTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE IF I SEE IT AS NECESSARY.

***********

DO NOT BID if you do not intend to pay immediately with BUY IT NOW.  Paypal only.

Sorry if this seems harsh but I have lost money on Ebay and don't intend to again due to non-considerate buyers.


THIS IS only A 5 DAY LISTING SO DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS DEAL!!
**************************************************************

  
I DO NOT SHIP OUTSIDE OF THE U.S AND I DO SHIP WITHIN 1 DAY OF PAYMENT - NORMALLY THE SAME DAY.
NO RETURNS. 

Insurance is required and included.  I want us both - buyer and seller- to be protected with this
rare find.  I will wrap - as always - very very well to protect.



FEEL CONFIDENT  WITH MY EXCELLENT FEEDBACK YOU WILL RECEIVE GREAT SERVICE.

I HAVE SOME CLOSE OFFERS TO WHAT I NEED OUT OF THIS...SO THANKS TO ALL!

Now that the auction closes in less than 12 hours - Ebay won't let me lower my price - seems odd if I want to do it. 

So a note to all the watchers - I would take $99 with free shipping still

or if you want to offer a close amount and pay the shipping and insurance I would consider seriously. 

Thanks so much!
