Description

NOTE:
If you wish to change the shipping method, then please speak up...BEFORE you press the button to buy it, NOT after. We avoid using USPS, but if you insist, then DEFINITELY contact us to find out our ground rules since shipping is very expensive...and any EXTRA expense caused by USPS (the "total amount" beyond our usual UPS method) will be on you. We detest 'cost effective' shipping when it comes to our masterpieces. Just a heads-up. No unwanted surprises here.
Welcome:
Here is whimsical piece for all you childlike (not childish)

completists. Yes, this one is the REAL deal, not a wannabe "Cain" masterpiece.
Scan #4 shows its official hallmark. This French bronze tazza (Italian-style cup) does not come in pairs.
It is a stand-alone work of art. No two are exactly alike. Also, it has never been polished. It has been dusted, yes, but we would not dare do anything more than that.
The top part is removable by unscrewing it. (It amuses.)
APPROX. MEASUREMENTS:
6 1/4" x 5 3/4"

Shipping with professional packaging by UPS, insurance, tracking, and signature confirmation is on us.
AS IS
. Absolutely NO returns; shipping cost is much too expensive for that.
Even though we DO NOT accept returns, "free shipping" means that in the event that you open a claim to return the item with Ebay/Paypal's permission (OF COURSE), we will DEDUCT from your refund the total amount of UPS packing, shipping, insurance, and return charges. Plus, we will document these shipping charges via attachment of UPS invoices directly to your Ebay inbox.
To give you an idea: On a ,000.00 purchase, these fees will be approximately , which already includes the "return" expense (indeed, UPS will charge for the package to be returned to us; nothing is free when it comes to shipping, "FYI"). Actually, the cost may even be higher if the size of the box is huge and if you open the package...since this example is strictly about refusing a package being handed to you by the UPS carrier. BTW, this example is about a small box just to send out a wristwatch.
Again, be VERY aware before you press any buttons; (or more) is nothing to sneeze at. Ask questions before you buy.
Actual color may vary from pictures due to digital camera phenomenon, lighting, your computer settings, and other factors.
Thank you for stopping by.
