Pattern/design description
-Hand Pianted flowers with raised gilt in the classic style of this company. The size and the fact that the interior is fully decorated elevate this piece above its peers. Their are also two scenic cartouches, one on top of lovers and then on front and back looks like castle ruins on the sea shore with all the scenes being framed in raised gilt. Really high quality porcelain was used in the making of this piece. The cover is basket weave molded which gives this piece and air of whimsy that you want to see in a French box of this calibur.

Attribution statements:
Please feel free to critique any of my listings information and send me a note if I have misattributed an item. Please keep said notes curtious as I would to anyone else. Please understand that I work constantly to keep an array of interesting items for sale to my buyers and in this effort I find myself often out of my element and areas of expertise so in such cases I do as much research as would be considered a goodly amount to most dealers and collectors and then I attribute the item by what I see and find as best as I am able. In a few words "I make mistakes sometimes" but I always do my best and always with the best of intentions. I struggle primarily with early unmarked English porcelain but am learning to identify them in other ways.
General note for item conditions
:All items come to me as previously owned so I cannot attest as to their treatment and environment prior to coming into my posession. I clean most of my items as they come in but if I deam an item to fragile or to be overall very clean then I may decide to skip the cleaning process.
Display items
: Items used to display pieces for sale or auction such as plate stands and other devices are never part of the auction or fixed price sale unless otherwise stated in the listing.
Special Shipping Instructions
:Shipping costs are based on the eBay calculator that uses my dimensions and approximate weight of the item to calculate its charges. I base all shipping on single box standard packing materials used i.e. bubble wrap, paper, peanuts. If for some reason you need to make a change to the shipping method, such as, requesting double boxing please notify me of this before making your payment so that I can send you an adjusted invoice with proper shipping costs applied as the cost may be higher. Since my items are never prepacked I do my best to estimate this but its possible I may be off so I will refund the difference if significant enough to merit the refund process "generally anything over ".
Overseas Shipping Note: Please note that I will never falsify any shipping documents and will only ship to eBay and Paypal approved addresses.
Multiple Purchases: If you bid on an item and wish to purchase another one of my items several days later please notify me via eBay email service and do not make payment until invoiced as I am under contract with eBay to ship within 24 hours of recript of payment to keep my rating status high.
Rating: I value my rating and work hard to maintain it through excellent customer service. Please contact me if you experience any issues and I will do all I can to satisfy your concerns. You will always be treated with respect when dealing with me in my shop.
