I PACK EXTREMELY WELL SO YOUR SHIPMENT WILL BE ●●●WORRY FREE.●●● THANKS FOR VIEWING MY LISTING AND ●●●GOOD LUCK●●● IF YOU DECIDE TO BID.●●●FINE ANTIQUE PORCELAIN ●●●THE MEASUREMENTS:Approximately 11 1/4" high, 4" deep front to back and 4 1/4" wide at the base. The weight is just under 1 pound 7 oz. The completed carton will ship Priority at the 3 pound rate.THE CONDITION:Considering the advanced age, the overall condition is excellent with a few minor flakes. ●●●Please allow the photos to guide you as they are the lion’s share of this description.●●● This is what I see to describe: look at the close-up photo and you will see that along the edge of the left wing where it folds over the right wing there are a couple of flakes of the pink colored surface missing…the larger one is up high and the smaller is down low just above the blue area; now look to the right and you will see a small flake of pink off the 4th small feather from the bottom. I am sure these areas can be touched up by a skilled collector or porcelain technician. The other white spots are reflections from the photo lighting. Then look at the teal tail feathers and you will see 2 little holes that are colored and glazed so I presume these are manufactured glaze pops created during firing. In addition, there is a small amount of shelf friction on the unglazed base. In my view, these small flaws should be acceptable. ●●●I hope I have not missed anything. If I did, it was surely minor and 100% unintentional.●●● Just about 99% of the collectibles I offer are vintage/pre-owned and may show a small amount of handling. I never list items with serious damage or flaws. I often heighten the contrast in my pictures to bring out all the details. The color you see may be slightly brighter or different than it actually is. Please inquire if you are concerned.●●●●● Please be sure you can accept the described conditions before you place your bid. By bidding you are stating that you have thoroughly read the condition paragraph, viewed the photos closely and understand that this Karl Ens Parrot is offered as described to the ●●●best of my ability.●●●I will accept a return of this Karl Ens Parrot and will certainly refund your money if there was gross negligence in my descriptions or photos. ●●●Buyer’s Remorse is very unfair to me so please be sure you have carefully read the conditions paragraph and viewed the photos closely and want to own or gift this item.●●● Contact must be made within 36 hrs of the day your item arrives.
