I will be happy to combine shipping. You will be charged the full postage for the item with the highest shipping and $2.00- 6.00 will be added per item (depending on the item weight and shipping method chosen). Please note that some heavy items cannot be combined.
I always try to ship the items by the next day, however, due to the time difference, please allow up to 48 hours for your order to be shipped out.
About My Store
My store provides Japanese Seto-yaki porcelain figurines and crockery. 'Seto-yaki' is a general term for porcelain products made in Seto Japan.
Seto is a city located in the center of Japan, and is also the center for Japan's ceramics industry.
From Occupied Japan Era to the late '70s, Seto-yaki items under various brand names used to be exported worldwide. However, as the ceramics industry has been declining year by year, many manufacturers have been forced to shut down their factories in the last few decades. But now, there are still lots of vintage products and reproductions available from local stores out there. If you want to find treasure pieces in Japan, visit my ebay store anytime.
