Filcer Pottery Portugal Reproduction 17th c. Coimbra Candlestick Candle Holder

Description

Well, well, what have we here?
Up for bid is this wonderful piece of reproduction pottery from Filcer Pottery of Portugal, representing a 17th-century candlestick that is decorated in entwining flowers, birds, bunnies, and castles. The piece stands about 7" tall, with a base diameter of around 4". It comes to you in excellent displayed condition, with perhaps a bit of light surface wear commensurate with display, but no discernible damage, like chips or fractures. What a charming addition to your home decor!
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.  International bidders will need to contact me for a shipping quote, which will include a 10% handling fee on postal costs.  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 your understanding!
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 handling fee per item still applies (see explanation above).
Meow!
This item comes from a smoke-free, cat-friendly home.  Thanks for looking and happy bidding!
