Ohio Renaissance Festival 1999 Banner Oak Studio Pottery Large Mug Stein EUC

Description

Well, well, what have we here?
Up for bid is this gorgeous stein or large mug, commemorating the 10th Annual Ohio Renaissance Festival of 1999. The base is stamped Banner Oaks Pottery (New London, OH). The mug stands about 5.5" tall. It comes to you in excellent used condition, with light signs of surface wear commensurate with age and display, but no large-scale damage, like chips, cracks, or crazing. In terms of production issues, there are a few small pale marks where the glaze missed. I hope this is just the piece you've been looking for!
The cold, hard truth, aka
shipping & handling terms:
Winning domestic bidder is to pay closely estimated shipping costs--i.e., either exact, or due to irregularities built into the shipping calculator, within {{detail_product_description}}.77 of actual postal prices--plus {{detail_product_description}}.73 in handling fees (or for Canadian buyers, and 10% surcharge on postage to other international buyers).  This handling fee has become a sad necessity due to the ever-increasing fees imposed by both Ebay and Paypal--imagine that
at a minimum
, on a 99c widget I will lose 90c in fees; the higher the cost and weight of the item, so too the fees.  Because my business is largely based on low-ticket items, without this added cushion my profit margins would not otherwise legitimize staying in business.  So if you want my item--and you know you want it!--that is the bidding contract that we are agreeing to.
I beg you to keep this in mind when leaving feedback about what constitutes "very reasonable" shipping & handling charges--I really am striving to earn your 5-star rating!
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 tedious and preachy explanation above).
Meow!
This item comes from a smoke-free, cat-friendly home.  Thanks for looking and happy bidding!
