What a fabulous find!!! This gorgeous, HAND PAINTED, VINTAGE "MADE IN JAPAN" CAKE SERVER, WITH 5 MATCHING DESSERT PLATES, is not only a stunning collectible set, but useful as well! All 6 PIECES of the set are in EXCELLENT CONDITION with NO cracks, NO chips and NO damage. The only details worth mention are VERY small amounts of paint wear, here and there, and some raised bumpiness in a few areas, but these "bumps" are due to the firing of the items and were done in production. Neither diminish the sheer beauty of the set.
Each dish features gorgeous sunset colors of yellow and orange, along with browns, greens and blues. The shading is lovely and the scenes are very peaceful and languid, with two birds sailing across an orange sky, above the crisp fall colors of the turning leaves below. It appears there is a lake to the right, in which the shadows are beginning to fall. There is a thin gold rim around each of the dish's edges.
The cake serving plate has two small cut outs at the small, extended handles. It measures 9.75" in diameter, from handle to handle. The dessert dishes are approx. 6 & 2/16th" in diameter. Each of these 6 pieces in the set are marked with a painted, black "MADE IN JAPAN", on the reverse side.
Beautiful Vintage set that is perfect for your cabinet, collection, or simply to add to the beauty of your special occasions! Please view the many photos, both above, and below, the description area. I have tried to photograph each of the dishes at least once in the photos.
NOTE: PER THE U.S. POSTAL SERVICE, IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO SEND BREAKABLES, GLASS, CHINA, ETC., GOING "PARCEL POST" MAIL. THEY RECOMMEND YOU SHIP THESE FRAGILE ITEMS WITH "PRIORITY" FOR BETTER HANDLING. THEREFORE, I WILL STILL OFFER THE "PARCEL POST" METHOD, AND MUST CONTINUE TO REQUIRE INSURANCE COVERAGE ON ALL FRAGILE SHIPMENTS. I DO HOWEVER, HIGHLY RECOMMEND SPENDING THE SMALL ADDITIONAL AMOUNT(normally .10-.20 cents higher) TO HAVE BETTER SERVICE ON ALL OF YOUR BREAKABLES, WITH PRIORITY MAIL. IT IS NORMALLY NO MORE THAN .20 DIFFERENCE!
This item has a nominal $1.50 Domestic and $3.00 International, handling fee, included in the shipping costs for this auction. INSURANCE IS REQUIRED for this item, due to it's fragile nature. Buyer may choose between Priority or Parcel Post shipping on this auction. I never force you to choose a shipping method that saves ME time but costs YOU money and am happy to combine your auction wins, whenever possible! Thanks for looking and please view my other auctions and Ebay Store for more VINTAGE PORCELAIN and "MADE IN JAPAN" PIECES, as well as other, Quality Vintage Finds.
ALMOST EVERY ITEM I SELL IS CONSIDERED TO BE "VINTAGE" OR "ANTIQUE". THIS MEANS I CANNOT POSSIBLY VERIFY ALL "SMELLS", WHETHER OR NOT THE ITEM HAS BEEN AROUND SMOKE, PETS OR OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL IRRITANTS.
Any & All Returns are at seller's discretion. I will NOT refund for buyer's remorse so please, ask all questions PRIOR to bidding. It is the buyer's responsibility to do so. I only refund for mistaken misrepresentation. NO shipping costs are refundable. If a refund is allowed, item must be returned within 3 days, in the exact condition it was shipped out in. Almost all items sold are Antique, Vintage or previously owned so there will be wear which is described in each listing.
***PAYMENT IS EXPECTED WITHIN 5 DAYS OF PURCHASE. CONTACT MUST BE MADE WITHIN 2 DAYS OF AUCTION END TO CONFIRM SHIPPING ADDRESS, OR I WILL ASSUME YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED IN MAKING PAYMENT AND ITEM COULD BE RE-LISTED, WITH APPROPRIATE STEPS TAKEN. PAYPAL IS the ONLY FORM OF PAYMENT ACCEPTED. *ABSOLUTELY NO E-CHECKS!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR BIDS!
I run my Ebay business by myself, which means ONE woman takes the photos, writes the listings, purchases the items and ships them all out. *I only ship ONE DAY A WEEK, normally on SATURDAY, and pack all items on FRIDAY. *This tells you that if your item is not paid for by the early evening, on the prior Thursday, your things will not go out for another week. I do my very best to try and ship them earlier, if at all possible, but normally, unless asked for prior to bidding, I don't make more than one day available to ship. If you need rush delivery, PLEASE ASK ABOUT IT, PRIOR to bidding! *Please keep in mind, I cannot control what happens with your package once it leaves my hands. This is why I recommend Insuring EVERY item you purchase.
**REGARDING SHIPPING COSTS: PER EBAY, THE POSTAL CALCULATOR BELOW IS AN ESTIMATE ONLY! I do my very best to assure my buyers of the least possible expense for postage but I DO NOT box my items prior to selling them so that I have them available for questions. Any handling fees are listed right in the auction descriptions. If ACTUAL POSTAGE COSTS are higher than the calculator estimates, it is the RESPONSIBILITY of the BUYER to PAY THESE COSTS. Thank you.
Insurance is not required for every auction, however, if an item is fragile, or delicate, I will insist it be insured. This protects you as the buyer, as well as myself. It is a very minimal cost to pay for coverage. Buyers may choose from any method of shipping that is available for that PARTICULAR AUCTION. Often, weight restrictions must be taken into consideration. I never force you to choose a shipping method that saves ME time but costs YOU money!
RETURNS ARE AT THE SOLE DISCRETION OF THE SELLER & GIVEN FOR MISTAKEN MISREPRESENTATION ONLY! It is the responsibility of the buyer to VIEW ALL PHOTOS, READ THE ENTIRE LISTING INCL. ALL DETAILS OF SHIPPING, ETC., AND TO ASK ALL QUESTIONS PRIOR TO BIDDING. If a refund is agreed upon, item must be returned in EXACT CONDITION it was sent to you in, and done so within 3 days of receipt. All shipping/handling costs are the responsibility of the buyer. Thank You!
The buyer is responsible for return shipping costs.
PAYPAL IS THE ONLY FORM OF PAYMENT ACCEPTED. **ABSOLUTELY NO E-CHECKS!! PAYMENT MUST BE RECEIVED WITHIN 5 days. Buyer MUST CONTACT ME WITHIN 2 DAYS of Auction end, to confirm address, or item can/may be re-listed. Thank you for your business.
