Please view the pictures to judge over-all condition and see noted flaws or issues. *we use raw unaltered images direct from our camera or eBay app. No enhancements outside of unavoidable camera software defaults. We might crop some pictures for thumbnails and to center the items(or eliminate some background noise.../detail not pertaining to the item to reduce file-size and prevent/reduce eBay's ancient auto-compression from destroying visible details/definition of the item being listed) , other than that, what you see is exactly what we see from the camera. Strictly new items may include stock informational images and original promotional pictures. The other exception is to highlight a flaw that does not show on camera, we might have luck enhancing those flaw spots as an unavoidable method to giving you a better idea of what we see. Lastly, we reserve the right to blur our faces in any reflective surfaces.

**If you have any questions about my listings, corrections, don't hesitate to message me. Also I am happy to do my best to combine items to lower shipping. Again, feel free to contact me. The shipping costs are all calculated by eBay based on exact weight and size using USPS rates. If you require a service other than USPS, we may be able to accommodate. We have built a relationship with our local Post office with a lot of success with fragile item shipments, but understand humans are human and some carriers handle glassware better than others in different locales. The reason we don't offer all services by default is due to other local services being problematic. No joke, our local *other* services drop-off offices all have a 1.5 star review average on major sites, when our post office has a 3.5 star rating consistently for a few years confirming our real like experience with the services with have access too (strictly at our local level). So please bare that in mind, we have no horse in the race and just make the decision that best suits us currently and will aim to accommodate, so as long as you understand why FedEx and UPS aren't listed by default.
****With all glassware items(fragile items in general), we will always pack the items the best that we can and follow above-standard practices(see our feedback if you don't believe me). But no amount of padding can prevent damage on some items if the carrier handles items poorly. With that being said, USPS Priority Mail service (not Economy/Parcel Select) provides up to $100 worth of insurance, and we ask you use best judgement when selecting what shipping method is best for you. Our mail persons do an excellent job locally at handling items, but we know people are different everywhere. Also other variables such as distance and transport over difficult terrain are also worth considering. Once the item is in the post offices possession, we have very little control over what happens and it's in our best interest that you receive everything the way it was sent out.
COMBINED SHIPPINGWhen you want to combine items from my store for a lower shipping rate, you can do this one of three methods. -One, you can purchase the item and not pay right away, then request a total(request an invoice) when you're done. Sometimes the combined shipping calculator that eBay uses is correct as is, sometimes the extra boxing material drops the price and size of the packaging. So just look it over and see what I can do, because it's in my best interest to drop costs. -Two, you can do the same as one, but fully check-out, and if there is a shipping cost difference, I can do the partial refund. This method is tricky, because sometimes there is no difference and sometimes there is, so if you check-out completely with out getting a new quoted shipping price/invoice, then that is a risk the buyer takes in order to speed up the process. In all my combined shipments that have used this method(Method Two), most, but not all, have gotten a partial refund, all without request or hassle. It does require trust in the seller, however, I would prefer having a chance to analyze and issue out the quote. -Three, you can simply contact me ahead of time. The only risk here is if someone else buys the item before committing to the purchase. ****Combined shipping does have limitations. Size and distance seem to be the biggest. And if you have a number of fragile items, it is in both our best interests to manage the weight of a single package. A 40lb bag of grain can be dropped repeatedly without much of an issue, but a 40lb box filled with glass, regardless of packing, does not have much, if any, room for poor handling. Therefore we reserve the right to deny combined shipping if we can anticipate any issues. So far we have managed to send out dozens of heavy, combined shipping items, packed well, and without issues. Again, it's simply as much our goal to make sure everything gets to you in tact, as you want it to arrive safely.

Our *Basic* Glassware Condition Scale guidelines. Just a loose set of definitions we use internally that we find to also reflect bits and pieces taken from grading in other hobbies and buying/selling glassware. A grade of item is based on a comparison. If an item is truly one of a kind with no comparisons that fit, then there is no grade or condition. Of course, unique items will get unique treatments.
Mint - This is strictly the way it came from the factory/manufacturer in some manor that preserves that condition. Mint is over-used and rarely is anything ever sold, actually mint. We do not have a single used mint kitchen item and plan to stay honest with our buyers. Used and mint are a contradiction.
New - New is strictly the way it came from the store or a storage warehouse. That may include minor defects that are not an issue. For example, Pyrex used to sell items with a label that that stated "Marks in the body of this glass are incidental to the process of manufacture and are not in any way detrimental to the use of the ware." We do not try to pass on something that *looks new* as new, unless it is truly unused. -It took a bit of research to get a better definition of the "marks" implied on those labels, but here is the best that we came across from a former kitchenware sales and distributor (Thank you by the way!): Those marks included bubbles(again, not affecting structure), cooling marks, tong markings that only show on the hidden parts of kiln-fired items, marbling (from rapid temperature changes in pressing a mold or removing glass from a mold / recycled glass being mixed into a batch with enough scorched bits to show a minor color change), slight mold imperfections, warping/stretching (that does not change the item's parameters or advertised function, but may visibly noticeable if the item is stacked/nested or upon a very deep inspection). We still make notes of factory flaws to the best of our ability and within reason, which is why this guideline was included to help both any potential buyer and us as the seller organize details more efficiently.
Like New - Same as above, except used and any signs of use require a fairly deep inspection.
Excellent - No chips, cracks, or crazing. Has been used, may have shelf wear and/or utensil wear, so as long as the clear or glazing layer is still in tact. Edges that are supposed to be smooth, are smooth. Bare in mind, transitional markings happen as well, but nothing is listed as Excellent unless those marks wash out with basic household supplies(ie: sponge/cloth, dish soap, non-abrasive cleaners). This includes tape residue required to pack certain items securely or non-permanent marks from storing/stacking. This is just a fact of life. Even items shipped directly new from the manufacturer suffer the same reality. Common sense for most people, but adding this tidbit anyways. We do our best to not make this an issue anyways.
Very Good - No Cracks or Crazing. Could have *few* and *small* chipping. We will make note of chips unless they are so insignificant that we simply can't see or feel any form of chipping. However, when/if any are found, the chipping in that case would need be to be clear of spreading to compromise the structure in any way in current state. Or the item may have no chips, cracks, and crazing, however the item is another stage of storage or utensil wear. Often that means the scratches/scuffs are still within reason to restore the item to a near visually perfect finish with a polisher of some kind.
Good - Has a combination of flaws. The more minimal each flaw, the more number of flaws a piece may have, so as long as the sum of the flaws do not jeopardize the structural integrity of the item and with best judgement, the item remains easily recognizable as the original design. Flaws that would be listed, Chips, Cracks, Crazing, rough edges, dishwasher wear, discoloration, deeper scratches, non-factory warping.
Fair - Structure is in tact, but has a crack that was not part of cooling from the factory (mold imperfections and structurally stable marks that visibly resemble a crack, but are not are not counted against the condition of an item, so as long as the glassware still can pass a number of basic tests to verify the imperfection is indeed not a crack). Unless the item in cracked condition is still sought after and worth preserving, we dispose of cracked kitchenware. It is not worth shipping, not worth saving.
Poor - Structure of the item is not holding up. Maybe it is strictly a decoration that was once broken and is now glued together? Any poor conditioned item will be documented better in the listing, because the only reason a poor conditioned item is up for sale by us, is due to some unique condition, extreme scarcity, or odd case where a broken item may carry enough value to make it worth while for the parties involved.
Vintage Condition - We avoid this term because it's simply far too subjective and has no real meaning. You wont get too many people to agree what it means, and if you know what it means, then buy two items in "good vintage condition" from two different sellers, just watch how different the condition is. Sorry, this term in no way fits within the items we generally list. It may fit with blue jeans or something that ages finely will with certain desirable wear, but not general housewares and kitchen collectibles.
******Item capacities and measurements are either rough estimates that we did ourselves quickly for the sake of listing quickly, or direct from the manufacturer (along with the equivalent item in a different unit, ie: Same Dishes from Corning/Pyrex used Quart, while same item was sold using Liter instead at different points, using a rough 1:1 conversion, despite being slightly different. Corning and Pyrex did correct this more later, and measurements themselves can come with some level of dispute. So please be aware that kitchenware items can and have been sold with the measurement included within the official model name. One example we see often, item sold officially as a 10" plate, when in some cases, diameter is up to an inch in difference for whatever reason. So be aware that some manufacturer provided measurements, especially older items, can merely pertain to a classification more than exact size or capacity. And because it is even more confusing to retroactively go through all existing items and then try to provide different different measurements with basic tools, we are simply going to stick to the measurements and names originally provided by the manufacturer. The tape measure we use in some of our listings is as much for giving you a general idea of scale, as they are to help provide a rough measurement. If we don't find official measurements listed, we might only use picture of the tape measure, because there is some dispute with unofficial measurements as well. Also sometimes we list dozens of items a day in addition to a busy schedule, and cutting out the manual tracking of measurements (when the manufacturer does not provide them) in the listing itself allows us more time, as all that time adds up fast with the way eBay has their mobile tools set-up for selling. So please look at the images for the included measurements. :) THANK YOU!
Private Listings: By request during the holidays, we made a number of listings private. If for whatever reason you need the listing to be private and it isn't marked that way already, message us before purchase.
