Item Description and Condition
g
This an Aynsley "Cottage Garden" bone china toothpick holder and matching trinket dish, made in England.
The dish is about 4 1/4" across and about 1" deep. The toothpick holder is about 2" tall and 3" wide at the mouth.
These pieces are in excellent condition, with no cracks, crazing or chips. The toothpick holder has some slight shelf wear. It also has some slight discoloration along the edge of the back of the piece You can't see it unless you look down onto the piece are at the back. I have attempted to clean this area with multiple products and it appears to be where the color of the base material is showing through the glaze. There is a spot on the bottom of a similar color where this also seems to be the case
(see close-up photos).
Please read the
RED
paragraph below about packaging/shipping.
Please see the photo(s) to judge the condition for yourself, as they are part of the description to which you commit as a buyer.
I source my items from estate sales, yard sales, auctions, second-hand stores, antique markets, etc. Therefore, the information I can provide about items may be limited. I am not a professional appraiser/grader. My opinion of item condition is subjective. Many of my pre-owned and pre-loved items will show signs of wear consistent with their age. I do my best to note any defects, but please grant some grace if there is something I missed. If I missed it, it's probably not very noticeable.

Packaging and Shipping
g
I live in a non-smoking, cat friendly household. My items are stored in a room where my cats are not permitted.
I have cleaned this item of any surface dust and will wipe it down one last time before packaging. However, I will not guarantee that stray cat hair does not find its way into the packaging.
Do note that eBay resellers are reporting a significant increase in package/item damage during shipment. I ship my items in boxes that a little oversized to allow for more bubble wrap. This increases the postage a bit but it increases the likelihood that your item(s) will arrive safely.
I will pack this item in a pretty large box due to its fragility.
I will usually mail item(s) within three business days after the purchase date (I check messages in the evening so don't count the first day). If you are in a rush to receive your order, please let me know immediately upon purchase and I will tell you what is possible, as I do work full-time.

Photos
g
The color
of the actual item(s) could be slightly darker or lighter than pictured due to camera and lighting conditions when taking photos. I try to enhance the photos to be as true-to-life as possible or to bring out certain details I feel are important to buyers.
Do note that while my original photo files are high-resolution, some focus and clarity is lost in uploading to eBay. Some faint/fine imperfections may not be visible.
While I try to include all four sides and top/bottom of items, I will sacrifice one/some of these images to include photos of obvious condition issues (like a significant chip) within the 12 photos allowed by eBay.
Any easels, backgrounds or other items used to display the item
