Please note that the USPS does not offer economy shipping to very
close destinations
unless the item is
dangerous and must travel by ground
. Otherwise, Priority will be the only service offered. I have
added insurance
to the handling field to cover an ending value over 0 for
either service
. Sometimes the shipping costs are
●●●
nearly the same
●●●
for some zip codes in which case I always choose Priority which is
faster
.
SO PLEASE WAIT TO PAY!
Domestic buyers, please be sure to wait for

my own invoice

OFFERED FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS A
WATERFORD SHIP’S DECANTER
AND A MATCHING
FOOTED BRANDY GLASS
. I BELIEVE THIS LOVELY PATTERN IS
ALANA
AND WAS INTRODUCED IN 1952. I REGRET THAT
I DO NOT HAVE A STOPPER
FOR THE DECANTER. MAYBE YOU HAVE A SPARE. SOMETIMES A SELLER WILL OFFER JUST A STOPPER SO
CREATE A SEARCH
AND EBAY WILL ALERT YOU WHEN THE ONE YOU WANT HAS BEEN LISTED. THE GLASS IS HIGHLY TEXTURED WITH SHARP EDGES ALONG THE
DIAMOND CUTS
. THE DECANTER NECK AND THE BRANDY GLASS STEM ARE
MULTI-FACETED
. THE OLDER WATERFORD MARK IS
ACID ETCHED
ON BOTH PIECES.
FROM THE INTERNET
Established in 1783, Waterford crystal is cherished around the world for its rich tradition of craftsmanship, clarity of its crystal and artistry. Each piece, from stemware to decorative items, is still mouth blown and handcrafted by master artisans. A customary gift to royalty and heads of state—a treasured heirloom for generations.
THESE PIECES WILL CERTAINLY BE A FINE ADDITION TO AN
ESTABLISHED ALANA COLLECTION
OR A GREAT START TO A NEW ONE. THEY WILL CERTAINLY BE A
VERY APPRECIATED GIFT
FOR A SPECIAL COLLECTOR IN YOUR CIRCLE OF
FAMILY & FRIENDS
.

THE CONDITION:
●●●
Please allow the photos to guide you as they are the lion’s share of this description.
●●●
The overall condition of the Brandy Glass is
totally excellent
so there is nothing to describe. The overall condition of the decanter is
very good
having no chips or cracks. As previously mentioned, I do not have the matching stopper. I believe that most styles of Waterford Stoppers will fit. This is what I see: there is some
residue on the inside
mostly on the bottom. I do not know if it is from brandy storage or from water left after washing. I was able to clear the inside of the neck with a very soft toothbrush but I cannot get down inside. So, the decanter will require a very long soak. I have not done this because it will take an eternity for the inside to dry.
If you have previous experience dealing with this kind of residue, you will know what product to use.
Just about
99%
of the items I offer are
vintage/pre-owned
and may show a small amount of
handling
. I often
heighten
the
contrast
in my pictures to bring out all the
details
. The color you see may be slightly
brighter
or
different
than it actually is. Please
inquire
if you are
concerned
.

An important note to my valued bidders
:
Please be advised that clicking a
●●●
score of 4
●●●
is
unsatisfactory
according to
eBay's seller standards
and is
considered a negative
, so a
●●●
rating of 5
●●●
across the board is what
I always strive to achieve
. After you have received and examined your item, if you feel I have not earned a 5 star rating in any of the categories, please
contact me immediately
through the "Contact Seller" tab and allow me to correct anything you think is
●●●
less than promised
.
●●●
Please understand
that when I use the
shipping calculator
it is for your convenience so you can
approximate
how much you will be adding to your bid. It is just an
estimate
determined by weighing a partially packed item. It makes no sense for me to complete a box not knowing if the item will actually be sold. Most of the time the amount is correct but occasionally, after securely packing the item, the weight brings the shipping charge to the
next pound cut-off point
. Sometimes the box weighs less than anticipated! In order to
prevent an error
it is important to
wait for my contact letter and invoice
.
The
continually rising postal rates
have created a difficult situation for sellers. I have
no control
over the price of shipping. If your zip code is far from my location please check the cost before bidding. Please note that I
ship very promptly
but sometimes the mail service is
not as fast
as anticipated. If you are the
winner
please take this into consideration when using the
5 star rating system
. Thanks……….ppaacckkrraatt
