Murano Angry Clown Green Cased Glass Candy Dish~~Scalloped Upturned Edges

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 Murano hand-blown candy dish which features a clown's body as the central handle.  It's made of green cased glass which is
slightly
scalloped and turned up on two sides.  The clown wears a black hat and a raised, ruffled collar...downward slanted eyebrows give him an angry look.  Condition on this piece is great---no chips, cracks or issues to note.  He's got a tiny bit of roughness on his lip, but I believe that was done in the making.  There's no mark or Murano paper label, but this came from a large collection of Murano (most with paper labels) clowns.  It measures about 6" tall and about 6" from side to side.  I've got another listed, this one in amber but with a similar design, so check out my other auctions if you want to combine shipping on the pair!  Please make sure to read the entire listing before bidding.  Good luck and thanks for looking!
Please take a minute to read how I run my auctions...
I ask that you DO NOT pay
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.
Please be sure to leave feedback after you receive your item---it lets me know things went off without a hitch, but
IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ANY PART OF OUR TRANSACTION, PLEASE EMAIL ME SO IT CAN BE RESOLVED BEFORE YOU LEAVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK
