Spode Christmas Tree Nutcracker Peppermint Small Dish Nut Candy NIB NEW NOS

Description

Well, well, what have we here?
Up for bid is this charming "Nutcracker Peppermint" small dish from the Christmas Tree collection of Spode, still new in its original box. The bowl measures about 10" long by 5.25" wide. I inspected the piece, and in terms of production issues, there is a long line of crazing in the glaze on the underside of the bowl. This does not affect display or functionality--just something I noticed. What a lovely addition to your Spode Christmas Tree service!
The cold, hard truth, aka shipping & handling terms:
As projected by eBay's shipping calculator, domestic shipping costs on Priority packages reflect USPS counter price--with First Class parcels being a close estimate of actual price within the fluctuating per-ounce rate--plus {{detail_product_description}}.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 dollar mug will incur me over in fees--the higher the cost and weight of the item, so too the fees.  Without the buffer of a handling fee, I would not be able to afford to stay in business. 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 partial handling fee per item still applies.
Meow!
This item comes from a smoke-free, cat-friendly home.  Thanks for looking and happy bidding!
