The listing, VINTAGE 1921 TCHINA CUP & SAUCER has ended.
This is a very old handpainted cup and saucer.
The design is of orange flowers with highlights of gold outlines around them.
There are green leaves and some blue which are also outlined in gold.
The saucer measures 6 1/2" in dia. and the cup measures 2 1/2" high and 4 1/4" in dia.
Both are marked in green which reads" T CHINA, E-OH, HANDPAINTED NIPPON".
This mark is dated between 1910-1921.
There is some wear to the gold on the handle and rim of the cup. The cup does have a hair line crack which does go through to the inside. It is at a place that is not noticable if you are just wanting to display these beautiful pieces.

I use USPS to ship. I try to keep the cost down by finding a box that fits the item.
Since these boxes are not the USPS boxes the shipping, it seems is more.
I always double bubble wrap the items, I use tissue paper and a gold sticker after the item has been bubble wrapped.
I go to http://www.usps.com/ and use the "calculate postage".
That is how I get the postage amount, if I am not sending the item in a USPS box.
I do not put items in a padded envelope and just send them.
If you think the postage is too high then please DO NOT BID.
With jewelry I use the" PRIORITY MAIL" medium flat envelope.
Which is a flat $5.60.
If you are useing PayPal it will be $ 0.25 more added to the shipping cost because they take out their fees.
Which leaves me short and I have to add what they have taken out.
If you are sending a money order you need not add the extra $0.25.
If you think the postage is too high then please DO NOT BID.
