Glass Liners:
Four (4) Amber Ribbed Pattern Glass Liners.  These beautiful liners measure 3 1/16 inches
from stem base to top rim, with an upper rim diameter of 3 9/16 inches.  Each liner has a wonderful three different patterns
as an upper rim border. The first is a 3 line standard wave; the second is 3
line straight surround; and the third is a complex 3 line swirl, with a large
upper half circle swirl with a smaller full circle swirl emanating down from
its center, looping down to 3, 3/4 circles. A larger one centered by two
smaller ones.  These liners are in
excellent shape with no scratches, chips or flea bites.
Eight (8) Clear Ribbed Pattern Glass Liners. These simple,
yet elegant liners measure 3 3/16 inches from stem base to top rim, with an
upper rim diameter of 3 11/16 inches.  Each
liner has a wonderful flower pattern as an upper rim border. The pattern is of
a long-stemmed flower, with a repeating pattern of a stem with two opposing leaves
facing up, followed by two alternate opposing leaves facing out for 3
iterations followed by a a six-lobe flower, all repeating 3 times to complete a
border around the rim. These liners are in excellent shape with no scratches,
chips or flea bites.
Four (4) Clear Ribbed Glass Liners. These ornate liners
measure approximately 2 1/2 inches from stem base to top rim, with an upper rim
diameter of 3 7/16 inches. I suspect they are hand blown as they all have some variation
in measurements. Each liner has a wonderful three flower pattern as an upper rim
border. Each of the three flowers has a Daisey flower consisting of a center shape
surrounded by seven lobes, with a group of leaves protruding out on each side
of the flower.  Each of these groupings
differs slightly leading me to feel they are hand etched. Three of these liners
are in excellent shape with no scratches, chips or flea bites, but the fourth
has a repairable flea bite on the upper rim.
These Sixteen (16) glasses liners fit any of the sterling
silver desert cups, but are not included in the weight listed.
Desert cups guaranteed to be SOLID
Sterling Silver (aka 925/1000 or .925) defined as 925 parts of pure silver to
75 parts of other metal (usually copper) per 1000 parts of material.
Photos are considered to be a part
of the description.  If you have any questions, please ask them
before bidding or buying.
Weights are to the nearest tenth
gram/five hundredths ozt, each item has been individually weighed on two
different recently calibrated scales.
I am not in a rush to receive payment. If as a
buyer/bidder, you wish to delay payment for up to 30 days in order to take
advantage of combined shipping at reduced cost, please let me
know.  The maximum amount of time I will wait for payment is 30 days
and I will invoice on the 28th day after the first item purchased, if
buyer has not yet requested an invoice.  There are certain postal fee
break points that make economic sense for both the buyer and
seller.  With silver weight is never the issue after 15 ounces has
been exceeded, but volume is, so breakpoints are in space available in priority
flat rate mailers (small, medium, large fixed rate priority and regional A
& B). After these volume limits are exceeded USPS, UPS and FED EX have
about the same rates on ground shipping, but package delivery takes longer than
priority mail.
Combined shipping is provided at
reduced rate on multiple item purchases, but you must request an invoice total
before paying. Items will be packaged well to prevent damage during shipment.
In the off chance that your shipment is received damaged, please notify me
immediately upon receipt by providing photos of the shipment as received and of
any damaged item.  Please retain all packaging material until damage
claim is settled.
I have sold my large Victorian home
and have downsized to a much smaller place.  Therefore over the next
few months, I will be selling my large sterling silver collection at true
auction with bids starting at $0.99, no reserve.  My silver is in
storage, so I plan to go the storage site and grab a box or two for
listing.  As those items sell, I will get another box or two and
repeat.  I plan to list 3 or 4 items per day until my collection is
liquidated. If I run out of storage room on listed/sold items I will have to
slow down listings, but I feel payment within 30 days is most likely the sweet
spot for successfully accomplishing this project.
Please save me as a seller, check
back often to see new listings.
