Description
PLEASE don't pay the invoice you'll get immediately from ebay. It's only an estimate, and can be incorrect because it does not account for the final bid amount nor the item's destination. Plainly put, I can't ship a 0.00, five pound package from NJ to the West coast for .00, even though that's what might be on the eBay invoice.I'll send an invoice as soon as possible, and it will begin with a Hello! I hope you'll wait to hear from me...your patience is much appreciated!
This auction is for a set of eleven vintage Royal Crown Derby bread and butter plates. Done in a pattern simply referred to as A274, it features an overall design of orange flowers and leaves, accented with gold trim and embellishments. The shape is referred to as Ely or Edinburgh. The edges of these 6 1/4" plates are very slightly scalloped. The back will show you that the pieces were imported by RCD to Black, Starr & Frost of Fifth Avenue in NYC, East Orange and White Plains. The symbol
below
the Gorham dates this set to 1937. All but one of the plates have the same RCD marks---the number in red ink, the red crowned mark and the impressed word Derby, along with the same squiggly date mark Condition on all eleven pieces is mint---no chips, cracks, paint loss or apologies to note. Included are 4 felt pads which are meant to cushion the plates when stacked, but of course, you'd need a few more. Please make sure to check all photos and read my entire description before bidding. Good luck and thanks for looking!
Please take a minute to read how I run my auctions...

the invoice you receive nanoseconds after the auction ends. It's an automated request from eBay. It
DOES NOT
include insurance, delivery confirmation or the shipping discount that applies when labels are printed on-line. If you want to pay exact shipping costs, please wait for my invoice, which is what the USPS charges me and includes all of the above. I'll send it ASAP after an auction ends. FREE local pick-up is always available in my auctions.
I sell mostly antique to vintage collectibles, so bidders should keep in mind that an item might have some age imperfections. I describe my items as accurately as possible, but I’m only human, and if I miss something major, please let me know before you post negative feedback.
Please remember that your bid is a binding contract to purchase. It is your responsibility as a bidder to thoroughly read the auction listing and look at the photos---please DON'T rely only on an item's category or title for a complete description. I do not refund for bidder's remorse.
Shipping is through the USPS and is for exact shipping costs. I will always combine shipping costs whenever possible.
WAIT FOR YOUR INVOICE
, which will include insurance and delivery confirmation. If you pay before you've been invoiced, I CANNOT add insurance to your purchase unless you request me to do so.
PLEASE NOTE: THE INSURANCE I PURCHASE FOR YOU INSURES YOUR ITEM ONLY TO THE ADDRESS ON YOUR EBAY INFORMATION. IF YOU RE-SHIP THIS ITEM THROUGH A SECOND SHIPPING COMPANY, MY INSURANCE DOES NOT COVER ANY DAMAGE OR LOSS and I am not responsible for any loss or damage.
Even though I have a
5 business day
window for shipping, that's the worst case scenario. I always ship sooner, and if I can't ship within 5 days, I'll let you know.
My auctions will indicate if an item is up for international bids, but I will not ship any item international if it’s over 3 pounds without first hearing from the bidder to make sure they're willing to pay the USPS's high shipping costs.
