Offered for your consideration is this very nice set of plates. 9 inches diameter, 4 inches across the bottom. The plates are about 7/8 inches tall at the rim. They are in beautiful ruby red color with clear boarder and there are gold flecks (aventurine) in the clear glass. Nicely ribbed design that you can see a lot from Salviati's glass. They are in great condition showing no chips or cracks. Estimated 1950s - 1960s. They are hand blown showing 4 point pontil at the base. Really beautifully done and rare form. Shipping methods: I offer multiple shipping methods. Please do scroll to the shipment page to find out the most optimized shipping method to your area. If you choose the default USPS parcel post, I assume you will be OK for me to upgrade to USPS priority mail or UPS ground at no extra charge. Shipping Charge: Shipping included delivery confirmation and maybe insurance if final price over $50. Item over $250 includes signature confirmation. Combined Shipping: Additional item is no extra charge or actual increment of shipping cost if heavy items are combined. Shipping time: I usually ship on Saturdays. So for some, I ship very quick if paid on Friday, and for those who made payments on a Saturday afternoon after P.O.s close, the shipping handling time could be a week -- that's why I don't list anything on Fridays, so that you have at least 24 hours to pay and I have 24 hours to pack. If you need your treasure shipped right away during the week, I can make arrangements -- please email for options. Returns: There are enough pictures plus text description to present the item (in my opinion) and to observe genuine auction spirit, no returns accepted unless misrepresented. Please do not hesitate to email with questions if you feel more information is necessary. Check My Daily 0.99 Cents Deals!
