RARE! Western MAR-CREST STONEWARE
PASTEL GREEN MIXING BOWL
PLEASE SCROLL DOWN TO SEE ALL PHOTOS!
|
Every once in a great while, I spot something in the middle of an auction table that makes me so excited I can barely sit still waiting for it. THIS is one of those things!
I've collected MarCrest since I was 11 years old, and have had the good fortune to deal with pitchers and bowls in black and pink, brown and green, white and yellow, but never before have I had the pure pleasure of one of these bowls.
It's a quite rare vintage Western Stoneware Mar-Crest banded mixing bowl in pastel green, and it is in Excellent Condition!
Marked with the Western maple leaf and Ovenproof, another of those typical Marcrest/Western conundrums that drives us Mar-crest collectors nuts! I've photographed it next to my Colorado Brown banded mixing bowl in the same size so you can see them side-by-side, top and bottom.
It measures 8-1/4 inches across, and is 4-3/4 inches deep.
EXCELLENT CONDITION! One little glaze pop in the interior bottom. There are NO cracks, flakes, hairlines, crazing, grease stains or heavy usage marks -- Fabulous color, with the typical thick glazing of the Marcrest pastel items.

About Glory & Grace Auction Listings
Unless otherwise stated, ALL our items are authentic vintage or antique furnishings, linens, books, sewing items, and/or glassware, obtained from nice estate auctions across several states. We work relentlessly to insure that all our inventory is cleaned, maintenanced and acceptable for our customers. However, these items have endured many years of household use, and on rare occasion an item may have embedded odors which we can't determine due to working with them day in and day out. We also use wood heat during the winter, so if you have an aversion to that, then PLEASE don't bid then ask us for a refund later!
We consider it a blessing to offer you these wonderful old pieces, most of which saw continual daily use, and all of which surely would have many amazing stories to tell us if they could!
~~PLEASE know we are Not overcharging you on shipping! Most of our items are shipped via USPS Priority Mail. The USPS is once again going up on their rates, and charges based not only on weight, but also on size of packaging, just as the other carriers do. eBay now charges sellers based on our "DSR ratings", so please, don't penalize us, or any eBay seller, for excessive shipping unless it is truly excessive.
We DO NOT pack with walmart bags and newspaper! You entrust us with the safe and secure delivery of your items, and we do all possible, including AMPLE packing materials. We use biodegradeable, cornstarch peanuts and clean, fresh new bubblewrapping, acid free tissue and boxing. Due to the continual rising costs of these items, we've been forced to institute a very small supply fee to help offset a small portion of the costs of packing peanuts, bubble wrapping and/or foam encasing ~~
We always attempt to have concise, accurate descriptions and clear, accurate photos, however my photography skills aren't exceptional, and (contrary to my liking), I do not know everything about everything. If the photos or description leave a question in your mind, please email one of us, and we'll answer you as quickly as possible.
There are rare times when the occasional large furniture item will require additional packing materials, and if additional charges for those materials is necessary, that will be plainly stated within the listing. There will be no surprises at checkout. I am prompt with providing your shipping options and charges.

Pursuant to our Standing Policy regarding Buy It Now, auctions remain open and available to all bidders until the Buy It Now transaction has been completed.
Payment is due within 3 days. We do not have a return policy, as we have never had the need for one. However, effective October 10, 2008, in the event of an item return for any reason, a restocking fee of 20% will be deducted from your refund.
If we have not heard from you within 3 days from the end of the auction, we reserve the right to relist the item. |
We Normally Ship On Tuesdays And Fridays. PLEASE NOTE that larger items, ie. sewing machines, cabinets, benches, windows, etc. do take extra time to prepare. We don't have space to stock boxing and palleting materials, and must purchase them as needed. The palleting and boxing process is not a simple one, as we frequently have to literally build the carton and cut to size the palleting to fit your item. Please allow up to 10 days on large items. When your item arrives safely and intact, we know you'll agree it was worth the short wait! GLORY & GRACE IS HONORED TO SHIP TO APO Addresses!
Rest assured that our packing and shipping procedures are second to none! Whether it be vintage glass salt and pepper shakers or an antique treadle sewing machine, ALL packing is done in-house, not farmed out to some box store.
All glassware, pottery and dinnerware ships via USPS Priority Mail. Delivery Confirmation Tracking Information is included. Insurance is optional.
WE WILL SHIP INTERNATIONALLY! International Bidders, please email for shipping options and charges, or wait for the invoice before paying.
There is good reason for using only Priority Mail for fragile items: The less time in transit, the less likely your precious treasure will become damaged from being kicked across some loading dock! Priority Mail packages are shipped in separate trucks, and not subject to having heavier parcels or 70 lb. mailbags dropped on them. We have successfully shipped our glassware to all 50 states, Italy, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Australia, and Japan!
With over 30 antique treadle sewing machines and cabinets successfully shipped, we have the disassembly, tie-down, cushioning and boxing down to an art, which have survived all three major shipping/delivery companies! We may ship large items via Greyhound or Jefferson, which is usually days faster, much safer, and less expensive.

WE SUPPORT OUR TROOPS and THEIR FAMILIES! We know first-hand the added responsibilities, and the fear and pain of separation, AND WE THANK EACH OF THEM FOR THEIR DEDICATION, SERVICE AND SACRIFICES!
Each package we ship contains a postage-paid mailer to "Cell Phones For Soldiers", enabling you to recycle those old cell phones which provides much-welcomed calling cards to deployed U.S. soldiers.
