Description

Mid Century Modern Italy Pottery Dinner Plate Scooped Flower Green Gold
Up for bid is a charming Italian pottery plate made in the shape of a flower blossom. Design is molded and somewhat abstract with raised petals and triangular accents around center. Colors are a drab olive green and gold. Color scheme looks like late 1960s or early 1970s to me.
The underside has hand painted mark that reads: P27 / 311 ITALY.  Maker designer remains unknown.
Piece measures approx 10" across. While considered a dinner plate, it is somewhat deep with edge being a approx 1 1/4" from table. It weighs approx 1 1/2 lbs; shipping cost is based on package weight of over 2 lbs to allow for careful wrapping.
Condition: It is without chips, cracks, nicks or dings. I see no utensil marks or surface wear; and no crazing in shiny glaze.
SHIPPING INSIDE US: We do not charge a fixed rate for shipping. We base our shipping costs on the actual weight of the item. It is a "calculated" cost based on USPS postal zones. The more zones/further away you are from MD the greater the cost. This means to ship to California and other west coast states costs MORE than to ship to nearby neighboring states such as PA, NJ, VA etc. We will combine shipping on multiple purchases. Please note: We try to estimate actual weight of package as best we can. If package turns out a little bit lighter that expected, and shipping is less than calculator estimate, this difference was not intentional. We do not charge a handling fee.
EXPLANATION OF SHIPPING COSTS INSIDE US (PLEASE READ): My goal is to keep your shipping costs as low as possible while wrapping safely/securely. We offer First Class OR Parcel Post in addition to Priority whenever there is a cost saving. We NEVER CHARGE A HANDLING FEE. When I list an item I estimate how much the package will weigh (securely wrapped) and enter that weight on the listing. eBay's listing page then provides you a calculated shipping from my zip code to yours, based on that weight. If your shipping seems HIGH, PLEASE CONSIDER WHERE YOU ARE LOCATED. If you have questions/concerns please write!
PAYMENT DETAILS: Payment is requested within three (3) business days. We accept PayPal and normally mail item immediately (same day/next day depending on when payment is received). PLEASE NOTE: If you pay within 12 hours of the auction's close we will be able to achieve the 1 day handling promise. If you pay later, we sometimes have other obligations making it difficult to mail immediately. In those cases please rest assured we will have your package in mail as soon as physically possible.
Maryland residents also pay 6% sales tax.
Sorry but we no longer ship outside of the US. (NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING)
