Whenever possible our asking prices are based on either our knowledge of the genre or on what similar pieces have actually been sold for on the international market, rather than what some sellers are asking, which are usually two very different things! In this case we have tried to balance the antique rarity of the figurine against what collectors are currently prepared to pay so as to offer it to buyers at a fair and competitive asking price.

You will normally find that our prices sit somewhere in the middle between auction and professional dealer prices and we are always willing to consider realistic offers.

We have a 100pc success rate for over a decade of successfully shipping fragile ceramics and glassware across the UK and the wider World. We now insist on 'signed for' services because of the current unreliability of some so called 'tracked and delivered' services.

We only charge what the Post Office and couriers charge us. 

International shipping? Since Covid, we have started to use eBay's Global Shipping Programme because it has proved to be competitive and reliable. It also takes care of the international paperwork, which is helpful for buyers and sellers at a time when international tariffs keep changing.
