A Staffordshire blue and white willow pattern tureen and lid.
The tureen base is 3" / 8cm deep x 10" / 25.5cm , handle to handle.
On the underside the backstamp reads, NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE POTTERY Co LTD, ENGLAND.
The condition is good with no chips or cracks just very minor crazing to the glaze.
Lovely collectors items for display or use.
Always happy to combine p&p where possible to save on postage costs.
Nearly all of my items are used and most are of considerable age, I describe major and obvious faults but most old items collect small scuffs, surface marks and signs of wear during their years of service that would be impossible to list all, so please, if there are any points you would like to clarify before bidding, please feel free to ask, and I would be happy to supply extra photos (please supply your email address) should you need them to satisfy yourselves on any area important to you.
If you are a UK BIDDER and are in no great hurry for your item, I would appreciate payment by cheque, or postal order, as Paypal charges are getting a bit out of hand but if you would rather pay by paypal that is fine. OVERSEAS BIDDERS Pay Pal only please.
NEW ZEALAND BUYERS, its seems for some very odd reason that ebay do not recognize NZ as a postal country as you are not on the list, so for ease, check the AUSTRALIAN postage and that is what it will cost you,.
I make every effort to ensure the item you purchase reaches you in good condition by using adequate amounts of bubble wrap & packing etc. All these packing items have to be bought and the cost is reflected in the total postage cost. Please check the postage cost before bidding and only bid if you are happy with the charge.
I cannot however, be responsible for the whims and behaviour of the postal service, but in the unlikely event of loss or damage, I always obtain proof of posting and would be happy to forward this on to you should you need to make claim.
The overseas postage price is for airmail but if you would like it to be sent surface which is cheaper, I would be happy to do this, this way can take up to 12 weeks (in 2 instances 15 weeks) so this is not really an option if you want the item quickly.
Thank you very much for taking the time to look at my items, and any questions are welcome.
