Packing china safely adds weight to an already heavy product That, plus USPS's increasingly untenable rates, makes for high costs, especially coast to coast Shallow bowl from Aynsley's "Wild Tudor" pattern Scalloped Gold trim Measures approximately 10 inches diameter and 2 inches tall Very nice used condition without chips, cracks or crazing A couple of very small rubs to the gold edging The Necessary Fine Print Per PayPaI rules, I will only ship to your Confirmed address. Sorry, no exceptions. Although my home is smoke-free, I don't know the origins of most of the items I sell. I won't send out anything that reeks of smoke, but if you're highly allergic, please reconsider buying used. I generally combine shipping at the rate of full price for the highest item, and 50% of the stated shipping cost thereafter. This may vary for heavy items, such as coats and jeans.
