Liberty Blue,Berry/Dessert Bowls,Set/4,Staffordshire,Ironstone,England,Vintage

Description: This listing is for one (1) set of four (4) “Liberty Blue Historic Colonial Series 5” Fruit Bowls”. Made in England, each patriotic bowl features Betsy Ross sewing the original American flag. In very good condition, these vintage fruit/dessert bowls were gently used for several years and then put into clean storage by the end of the 1970s. Each bowl shows normal signs of use and aging; crazing, discoloration and normal surface wear, but overall, they are in very good shape for their age. There are no cracks or chips. The bowls measure approximately 5” in diameter, by 1 1/4” deep. They come from a very clean, smoke and pet-free environment. Please enlarge and review photos closely. Sold as pictured. Please note: display stand used for photos is not included. Blue and white ironstone dinnerware has been collected for many years and the introduction of the Liberty Blue pattern in 1975 by Enoch Wedgwood of England, with its fifteen different historic scenes of colonial America, generated huge interest. Grocery stores such as A&P and Grand Union sold different pieces each week with a minimum in-store grocery purchase. The Liberty Blue promotion coincided with America's Bicentennial celebration in 1976 and by 1977 you could no longer purchase this patriotic tableware. Please note: this listing is for one (1) set of four (4) vintage “Liberty Blue Historic Colonial Series 5” Fruit/Dessert Bowls”. USPS shipping, tracking and insurance is included. *Display stand not included.*Thanks for stopping by! Before placing a bid or purchasing an item, please be sure to read the following:Condition: Items listed in my store as “vintage/estate sale items” have been well cared for over the years. However, because these items are vintage/used, unless noted, they may not be in pristine/perfect condition. I rate each item’s condition on a fair to mint scale. Condition is subjective, so please review pictures carefully and feel free to ask questions. All items are sold as is-no returns accepted.SHIPPING: I do my best to ensure packages arrive to my customers as quickly as possible. Please understand that certain factors beyond my control may extend shipping time: weather, high volume/holiday postal traffic, and the actions of shipping companies such as the USPS shipping slow down. I offer free shipping to the lower 48 states, and I ship within 2 business days of payment - sometimes quicker if possible. I do not ship to P.O. Boxes. Please provide a physical address when placing your order.BEST OFFER: I don’t list items in my store as “best offer” as I include free shipping on everything I sell. If I were selling this item at a flea market, garage, or tag sale, I would be happy to reduce the price by a few dollars, but unfortunately I have to deal with the middleman - USPS and eBay. Not only do I pay a monthly store subscription fee, additionally eBay takes the total sale price of an item, adds state sales tax, and then charges a transaction fee of approximately 15%. On top of that they charge a “successful transaction fee” of forty cents. From what’s left I pay for shipping. Long story short, when the dust settles, there’s not much left from the sale.INTERNATIONAL SALES: For shipping outside of the continental USA; I only use eBay's Global Shipping Program. Items bound for an international address are shipped to an eBay global destination center and then sent to its global destination. International customers are responsible for all duties and taxes. Please proceed to check out in order to calculate costs for shipping the item to your country. Messages regarding eBay's Global Shipping Program must be directed at eBay exclusively. DAMAGE: In the unlikely event an item is damaged in transit, please save the item, box, all shipping materials, and contact me via eBay email as soon as possible. I will require detailed pictures of the item, box, shipping materials, and mailing label before a claim can be filed/settled. Please do not discard the damaged item, box or packing materials as the postal carrier may require it as proof of damage. As soon as the claim is settled you will be notified that it is okay to discard the damaged item. In some instances I may ask that the damaged item be returned to me before a refund can be issued. Sorry, but no refund will be issued for the damaged item if you do not follow these instructions.RECYCLING: I do my best to use recycled shipping materials as much as possible. Although my packages may not look “pretty”, everything I use to ship items to my customers is sturdy and clean.
