This bright and cheerful soup tureen is a limited edition reproduction of a Nymphenburg Tureen from the Campbell Collection of Soup Tureens at Winterthur, made in Germany from 1760 to 1765. Rounded oval body is painted with bright floral sprays supported by four curving feet, with the lid's handle shaped after a cut lemon. Matching underplate with floral sprays and gold detailing. Bottom of both underplate and tureen are each marked 265 of 500. Item was purchased from the Winterthur Museum store in 2001. Tureen measures approximately 12 inches handle to handle, 9 1/2 inches wide, and 8 1/2 inches tall; underplate is 16 inches long and 11 3/4 inches wide, thick enough to add almost an inch to the tureen's height. Excellent estate condition: no cracks or chips noted, extremely minimal wear with just one teeny tiny scratch inside the tureen as shown. Item is not food safe. Please see photos closely for further information on condition.

Attention eBay Buyers:

I do my best to accurately describe items listed for sale. Any chips, cracks, tears, stains or other noticeable damage will be listed in the description. If no damages or defects are listed above, it is because I didn't see any and the item is in very good condition. Please look carefully at the photos, as they are considered to be part of the description!  Many of the items I list are from estate, household, and yard sales and are priced low accordingly, but occasionally a flaw or defect may be overlooked or damage may occur during shipping. Some items may not have been tested to make sure they work properly. I try to note that in the description. Feel free to ask for more information prior to bidding, and I will answer to the best of my ability.  If you are not 100% satisfied, do not hesitate to contact me. I will do my best to resolve the problem.

Shipping: 

The shipping cost is shown in the shipping section of the listing.  This is the shipping cost you are asked to pay. All prices are based on ACTUAL USPS rates and do not include a handling charge. Sometimes, depending on your location, Priority Mail is feasible at the amount paid, in which case your item will be shipped that way. If you feel the shipping charge is too high, contact me prior to bidding, and I may be able to make an adjustment. If you would like your item shipped by another method (UPS, FedEx, etc), contact me and I will try to accommodate your request. We are happy to combine items to reduce shipping when it doesn't compromise the safety of the items being shipped.

Handling:

Each item is carefully packaged to ensure safe arrival at its destination. With the cost of boxes, bubble wrap, peanuts, tape, etc., I often spend more on shipping/handling than the buyer is charged.  I usually ship within two business days of the close of auction.  I will notify you if it will run later than that for any reason.
