Lawrence B. Smith Co. Vintage Silver Plate Footed Petal Serving Bowl 8" Signed

Description

Lawrence B. Smith Co. Vintage Silver Plate Footed Petal Designed Serving Bowl  8" Signed.  This silver plated serving bowl is preowned.  There are no dents, deep marring, or repairs. There is surface wear due to age and normal use.  "Patina" is present and this bowl could use a good polish and buffing and it would really shine. This serving bowl is in good condition.  Please see pictures as your opinion may differ from mine.
Measurements are approximate - Height 4 inches tall X 8 1/8 inches in diameter.  Please see pictures.
The Lawrence B. Smith Co. of Boston, MA was founded in 1887 and went out of business 1958.  This is a beautiful serving bowl in the petal design.
Please see pictures.

Buyers are responsible for all Customs and Shipping charges and fees.
I do not refund custom/shipping charges unless I made a mistake in my listing.
Please note - Local Pick-up Location is Hamden, Connecticut.
Alaska and Hawaii must select a priority mail service (USPS or UPS) for all items shipped. If you do not select a priority mail service, your order will be cancelled.
This is to ensure a safe and timely delivery of your item to you.
Thank you for your understanding. I will not use FedEx - IMO they are the most dishonest shipping company I ever used.
I only ship to the address shown as the “ship to address” when your payment is made.
I will not ship to an alternate address after the payment is made. This is a fraud prevention measure. If a true error is made (it happens), the sale must be cancelled and started over.
If I already mailed the package, there is nothing I can do to change anything.
FYI
-
I will resend a purchase returned to me due to an incorrect or non-forwarding address at the buyer's expense
after the payment is made to re-send the purchase. As per eBay policy, buyers are responsible to provide the seller with an accurate address where a package can be safely delivered.
I do not refund shipping fees unless I made a mistake in the order.
Please email me with any questions or for more pictures.  I look forward to helping you so you will be happy and feel good about your purchase.
Please be aware that all antique, vintage and used items will show wear commonly found with age and normal use for the item, and any
major flaws
will be noted.
Please note – I try to recycle mailing materials whenever possible.

Please note, I do accept returns, but the item needs to be returned in the same condition it was mailed in.
When I receive the item back in the condition it was mailed in, the cost of the item minus the original shipping fee will be refunded.
The buyer will pay for return shipping costs. I do not reimburse postage either way unless I made an error in my listing. Please look at all pictures and read the description of the item for its condition and any particulars. Please ask questions.
Please note with different computer screens, items may look a different shade of color, so that is not considered an error unless it is grossly incorrect such as
stating a red item is blue. Please ask questions and for more pictures if you have any doubts about an item. I look forward to helping you make this purchase a pleasant experience for the both of us.
In the event an item is damaged in shipping, please contact me so a claim with the carrier can be started.
I ship all breakables with insurance.
Please provide clear pictures of the box and damages to the item as it is a requirement by all carriers for reimbursement for damages.
Please keep the broken item and packaging in the event it is requested by the carrier for their investigation until your claim is completed.
Please feel confident you will receive your item intact as I double box any item that is breakable. Yes, this practice does increase the cost of postage, however, it also increases the chances of you receiving your item in one piece. Personally, nothing is more frustrating than searching for that perfect gift or collectable, paying for it and then waiting for its arrival – only to open the box and find it damaged.
I want you to be happy with your purchase!
Please ask any questions and/or educate me.
I describe each item as I honestly see it.
I go over things with a magnifying glass and check everything twice, however I am human and far from perfect.
If I made a mistake, please let me know what it is, send me clear pictures of the error I made,
and give me the opportunity to correct it before leaving negative feedback.
Remember- if you are not happy with your purchase - I am not happy.
That's why I offer a 30-day return policy. To repeat myself - Items must be returned in same condition as when I shipped them for the cost of the item to be refunded.  The shipping costs are not refundable unless I made an error in the description. Differences in shades of color due to computer screen are not considered an error on my part. If I am having a difficult time naming a color, size, etc., I will state this in my ad.
I appreciate your interest and do my best to provide detailed photos and listings.
Please be aware that all antique, vintage and used items will show wear commonly found with age and normal use of the item, and
any
major flaws
will be noted.
Please enlarge and zoom in on photos for a closer more detailed look.  The photos should be considered part of the description. All items are described to the best of my ability and knowledge.
I will try to mail items within 1 day of order except on weekends and holidays.
I will mail it on the next day the carrier is open.
I will combine shipping charges when I can safely do so.
Please let me know
before
you check out or eBay will not allow combination shipping charges.
I
ship all items that are delicate and/or breakable with insurance. In the rare event something arrives damaged, please let me know so we can get a claim going for you to be refunded by the carrier.  If an item is sturdy and non-breakable, I will agree to different mailing options.
Again, just let me know what you want before checking out.
