Well, well, what have we here?  Up for bid is this absolutely charming pitcher from the Italian pottery studio of Desimone, decorated on each side with a colorful fish. The base is signed and numbered 09. The pitcher stands around 8" tall, with a base diameter of around 5". The pitcher comes to you in good pre-owned condition, with surface wear as expected with age and use, including minor crazing as well as two nicks along the pour spout, but no other discernible damage like large chips or fractures. What a great addition to your Italian pottery wares! 

The cold, hard truth, aka shipping & handling terms:   As projected by eBay's shipping calculator, domestic shipping costs on Priority and Ground packages reflect USPS counter price plus $0.73 in my handling fees. This handling fee not only contributes toward the obvious selling expenses of bubble wrap, boxes, printer ink, and tape, but more significantly towards the steep selling fees imposed by Ebay on your total invoice (sale price + tax + shipping). Even the sale of a $5 dollar mug will incur me over $2 in fees--the higher the cost and weight of the item, so too the fees. Because my sales are primarily based on lower-ticket items, I would not be able to afford to stay in business without this buffer. Thank you for supporting small business!

Mix it, match it, throw it in your basket! I am happy to combine shipping on multiple purchases, so if you'd like, please take a look at my other auctions.  A handling fee per item still applies (see above). 

Woof, woof, meow! This item is passing through a smoke-free, dog-happy, and cat-friendly home.  Thanks for looking and happy bidding!
