Antique Staffordshire Dark Blue Transfer Plate Moonlight Landscape w/ People

Description

Mid- to late-19
th
century plate, 7 ¾” across, 1” deep, with dark gray/blue transfer printed graphics. Around the outside, draped floral arrangements and tasseled vine-like features; inside, a moonlit scene of people by water. Glazed base; unsigned. Excellent condition; a little light, tight glaze crazing, unavoidable and practically invisible; no chips, cracks, stains, scratches, or loss of atmospheric image.
I always ship the business day after I receive payment.
An item may be returned if it is substantially different from how I have described it. I will pay return postage.
Buyer pays actual postage; there is no handling fee. Priority postage rates increased about 4% on January 24.
I always pack multiple purchases together to save on shipping.
Postcards and paper items are packed in poly sleeves with corrugated cardboard and sent in a padded mailer, for which USPS charges First Class parcel rate. This is new: First Class postage now varies with distance.
There is now very little difference between the rates for Priority and Retail Ground; it’s less than 10%. Since Priority Mail includes insurance up to .00, I have decided to send everything over 14 oz. by Priority. The exceptions are oversized boxes (Retail Ground) and books (Media Mail).
I will contact the winner immediately after the auction (unless you have already paid) and again when I ship the item, to let you know it’s on the way.
Thank you for looking, and for wading through the fine print.
