Questions & Comments

Sorry did not mean to offend at all. Just thought I would add because I own a pair exactly the same. The stamp on the bottom indicates they are made by Royal Satsuma the company started making copies of orignal pieces that have been held in China and not shared with the rest of the world in the 1980s. If you had these authenticated then they are worth several $1000s. I have traveled in China and visited several factories including the cloisonne factory. Sorry if I offended will refrain from leaving any further messages that I have knowledge of just trying to help out.

No, Ma'am - you didn't offend. I apologize if it came off that way (the biggest drawback to typed vs. spoken conversations is not being able to read intent, I think). I'm sorry if it sounded like I was being snippy (or any other type of ill for that matter); I honestly meant that any info you had would actually be appreciated. All the best.

These are contemporary pieces made in the1980s.

Not sure why you think that - according to everything I can find in doing (admittedly, light) research, these are contemporaneous with other Royal Satsuma pieces made in the 1950s.

If you have information, however, contradicting this, I'd love for you to share it with me & the bidders/potential bidders.

All the best.

Yeah i know, then again always get it evaluated if you are not sure they could be replicas but the stamp and other signatures on there indicate it may be the real deal I would add days to the Bid to get more credits ( dont hit me bidders Im sorry lol) that way you might feel better about getting rid of these ( I dunno what you feel lol I am just sayin....) I love them they are super !!!!!!!

I don't think I'll be extending the time limit (not even sure I could if I wanted to, truth be told) in order to be fair to those who've already placed bids; but, thank you for the friendly advice. It's always appreciated.

Thanks, also, for checking out the listing - all the best!

Depends upon what service you choose - here is the exact rate schedule from the USPS site.

Of course, shipping charges are always EXACTLY what the cost is and nothing more.

Flat rate box is $ 5.15 or 10.00

Aug 14th, 2013 at 4:17:16 AM PDT by

Then that would be (according to your choice between the two options) the exact rate you would be charged then.
