Please be aware that you are buying vintage or Antique. I always inspect items in detail and list any major faults such as cracks & chips in the description. You should expect some age-related signs of wear such as very small fine surface scratches/marks. Also many of the items are handmade, they may have small imperfections such as bubbles, inclusions & lumps within the glass and often tool marks from where they have been shaped and worked in the manufacturing process. These are not usually seen by collectors as faults or damage, but as part of the character of handmade glass and are not usually mentioned in the description.
I do my best to offer multiple shipping options to save on cost.
