A reserve price is the minimum price the seller will accept. This price is hidden from bidders. To win, a bidder must have the highest bid and have met or exceeded the reserve price.
I've had this old salt and pepper stand for as long as I can remember, thinking someday I'd find the shakers to fit it. The stand is pegged, so the correct shakers will have an indention on the bottom.
Nice old Early American Pressed Glass, in Excellent Condition with NO damage. Piece measures 6 inches tall at center handle, 4-1/2 inches long, 2-1/2 inches deep, and the pegs are 2-5/8 inches apart on center.
Crystal clear with no cloudiness!
NOTE: Effective September 22, 2009, eBay is removing a Seller's ability to offer optional shipping insurance! We have been contacted by several of our customers regarding this concern. Please know that we will continue to insure your packages, and that every package we ship is insured against damage and/or loss.
Old Depression Glass and USA pottery pieces may vary as much as 1/4 inch in overall size. This is due to the manufacturing process itself. Factory molds wore down over time, and were frequently re-worked instead of replaced. After all, many of these pieces were produced mostly as give-aways to promote other products during hard times. There is nothing graceful or genteel about dirty glassware! I have never met a collector or shop owner who displays dirty glass. Rest assured that you will never pay shipping charges on dirty, greasy or gunky kitchen glass or pottery from us! Some shaker lids may exhibit wear or surface staining, but we do our best to remove any rusty particles. There are some sellers who say that "collectors prefer to do the cleaning themselves and want items in 'as found' condition". We do not believe that applies to glassware! We cannot in good conscience offer any item for sale without full disclosure of any flaws. Dirt, gunk and caked on grease can hide hairline cracks or other flaws in glassware and pottery. Buyer beware the seller who won't adequately clean an item to check for damage!
Each item sold by our family is carefully, gently and painstakingly hand washed, air dried, and carefully stored.
Shaker lids are removed and wrapped separately from the shakers to prevent stress fractures during packing and shipping.
Glory & Grace won't insult you by selling those new fake made in China reproduction kitchenware or depression glass 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 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 has once again increased their rates, AND decreased the size of their 'small flat rate box'!
These photos show the old "Small" flat rate box on the bottom (it is now their "Medium"), and the new "small" flat rate box is on top (it was formerly the dvd/video size). In addition, USPS now charges based not only on weight and zone, but also on dimensional size of packaging, just as the other carriers do.
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.
eBay now charges sellers based on our "DSR ratings". While the feedback pages show 4 stars as being a very good seller, in actuality we as sellers are penalized for anything less than 5 stars! So please, don't penalize us, or any eBay seller, for excessive shipping unless it is truly excessive.~~
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.
I always attempt to have concise, accurate descriptions and clear, accurate photos, however my photography skills aren't exceptional, and (contrary to my liking), I don't know everything about everything. If the photos or description leave a question in your mind, please email me! I'll answer your emails as quickly as possible.
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, or for relisting due to non-payment, 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 ARE 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!

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.
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.
