The eggcups all have some fleabiting/minor rim chips and 2 have glaze crazing.
LARGE HIGH QUALITY LOT OF SMALL ANTIQUES & COLLECTABLES This is not your average ‘job lot for a boot fair’ etc – this is a genuinely very good collection of quality small bits and bobs that we have just ‘asided’ in the last year or so either because their individual value is not large enough for us to ebay (we don’t do fairs/markets ourselves) or we just haven’t got round to doing anything with them, there are literally hundreds of pounds worth of items here all sold as 1 lot, nearly 11kg of collectables things! Please don’t ask us to split anything out as it is not going to happen. Winner gets everything listed in 1 large parcel via UK courier or Fedex depending on location, shipping is FREE and it will be well packed! Please ask if you require any specific details on a particular piece (please use the numbered reference from the list below). Generally good but ‘sold as seen’- obviously we don’t have time to go into infinitesimal detail on this but any major faults are stated in the list above. You seriously should not be disappointed!
