This antique french blown glass artisan made Cloche was designed to shelter your important plants and bulbs from cold and/or frost.  It serves it's function just as well today and they are a feature in many of the most elegant and sophisticated interior designs.  This one is large at 7.25" diameter (external at bottom of cloche) and slightly over 10" high.

Many of the items we handle online and privately are more commonly found at large regional or national auctions.  We understand the burden of shipping costs is frustrating for most collectors, including us.  We pack professionally and double box with sufficient bubble and peanuts for your item to arrive safely.  We have shipped tens of thousands of packages over the last three decades.  The handling fee is the estimated cost of the box, peanuts and bubble wrap.  If it seems excessive, try buying similar items at regional and national auctions, pay the shipping fees and get back to me with a thumbs up and a thank you.  But, TANSTAAFL, so since I have to pay for the peanuts, bubble and boxes... that cost along with actual shipping is passed along to you as an expected cost of collecting.

International Shipping is done only via the international (formerly global) shipping program.  Unfortunately, as this is an account recently established for the liquidation business, the international shipping program is currently unavailable for these listings.  I will not ship internationally via other means.  Please note that any request to misrepresent declared values for customs, duties or VAT taxes will be ignored.  Ebay manages those details through the International Shipping program and knows exactly what you paid for the item, I have nothing to do with it.

Tommy and Beth Ann McPherson have been actively selling on Ebay and Amazon since 1997 with tens of thousands of happy customers and feedback numbers reflecting such.  We have actually been selling on the internet longer than Ebay (1995) and Amazon (1995) as we were one of the first businesses selling on Interloc, (1993), the specialty booksellers site that eventually evolved into Alibris and one might reasonably surmise inspired both ABE books and Amazon.  Our business may have a claim to being the oldest independent continuing online antiques and collectibles presence on the internet. Rest assured, we know how to professionally pack and ship your purchase safely. 

Please reach out with any questions or concerns.  We value our clients and our customers and are happy to assist you.
