Shipping calculator is an estimate. Shipping is always charged *at cost* + a handling* fee. Please do not pay before we send an eBay invoice.

19th century Clichy paperweight, France, circa 1870 (+/-).

Notably large, handmade, art glass weight featuring a meticulously laid out spaced millefiori design comprised of thrity-five (35!) different, individual canes (including a rose), arranged within the small spaces created by the latticinio/muslin twists. The craftsmanship is excellent and the quality of the canes is very fine...in a beautiful range of colors, including: pink, white, cobalt, red, green, blue, lavender, etc.

We welcome Buy It Now offers prior to a bid being placed or a reserve being met, but an offer must be made...we will not state a sale/purchase price for an auction style listing.

If you win your item, please pay....your bid is contract. Payment due within 3 days of invoicing.

Size/Condition: Measures 3.25". Some tiny, production trapped air bubbles. Light wear to dome, assumed to have been polished a bit at some point in its long life. Heavy foot wear. Unmarked, undated.

Shipping fees: We do not pre-pack merchandise in the event a bidder wins more than one item (happy to combine items!). If you have ANY questions about the cost of shipping (or anything else), please ask us in advance of bidding. Bidders please note: The USPS charges higher prices for packages larger than a cubic foot (12"x 12"x 12"), known as "dimensional" or "balloon" weight. We have no control over the cost and offer Parcel Post as a more economical alternative shipping method.

*Handling fee: Added into postage calculation. Allowed by eBay and can include packing materials (styrofoam peanuts, bubblewrap, boxes, tape), insurance (varies by end price), etc.

International Buyers:
Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.
Check your country's customs policies to determine what additional costs may be incurred prior to bidding/buying.
These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up – do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.
We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.

This came from a fellow eBay member, our response follows below"

Hi, in my opinion NOT a clichy ( the rose is not any of the known clichy types).
  Also the parallel base latticino looks too contrived ( overtly parallel) and not random enough. ( Clichy parallel but not like this). the canes are at best what are known as "suspect clichy".

Hello~
  Thanks for writing.
  Prior to listing this piece, we ran it by a collector friend to confirm the ID. The same photos were sent and it was confirmed without hesitation. This is someone who has an extensive collection and very solid credentials with advanced and deep knowledge of antique paperweights.
  That said, we will happily add your note to the listing, along with adding it via an html addition (big red letters) which will also appear at the bottom of the listing.
  We appreciate the note~
