Royal Doulton CD Gibson

Series Plate

They All Go Skating

This plate is one in a series of 25 made by Royal Doulton and designed by CD Gibson who was famous for his Gibson Girl designs. This is one of the more elusive plates in the series for some reason. It is entitled \"They All Go Skating.\" It is 10½ inches in diameter. It has some crazing but no darkness associated with that. The picture in the center is black and white on all these plates and they all have the same gorgeous blue and white transferware edge. It is marked on the back with the Royal Doulton mark. There are no chips or cracks but there is a small area on the edge where it looks like there was a glaze skip or the glaze popped in the firing. It is not a chipped out place so that is why we believe it is a glaze skip. You can just ever so slightly see a bit of white when you look at the plate straight on but only if you know where it is. That spot is on the left side of the plate between the 8:00 and 9:00 positions if you were looking at is as if it was a clock. The last picture also shows that spot. This spot is the reason this plate is priced like this. I have seen it for sale on the internet this week for $499.00. Since it has this defect and a bit of crazing as well as a couple of light use marks, we are pricing it much lower.

PLEASE NOTE: PAYPAL IS THE ONLY PAYMENT METHOD WE ACCEPT PER POLICY

Check out our store and other sales for more great items. Most of our store items will have the BEST OFFER option. Small dollar items are included in case you are combining more than one item. On single items below $20 value, we will not be able to do much if anything to reduce the price. Please, if you have questions, ask them BEFORE you make your offer and not in the message part of the offer! All offers are responded to as quickly as possible. When making an offer, take a look at all our listings as we can deal better on selling more than one item together. NOTE: With the new shipping rates, be sure to read all the information on shipping below so you will know our policies about combining shipping. We work hard at trying to keep shipping as low as possible. Insurance will be provided on all breakable items and most other items. We also will continue to provide free delivery confirmation.

THE FINE PRINT:

We strive very hard to list quality antiques and collectibles on our items. We also strive to give you the best description and pictures we can so you can make informed purchases. Please read the descriptions and look at all the pictures. Any known flaws, however minor, will be pointed out. We want our customers to be happy and you can tell by our response that we work hard at that job. We pack well and all items come from a smoke free home. Expect all items to be clean unless noted in the description for some reason.

WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER THE SALE

You will receive an invoice as soon as possible after the listing closes giving you all the information you need to make a payment. Effective October 20, 2008, we accept ONLY PAYPAL as our method of payment. We ship the best method available and in some cases will offer a choice. We ship MOST items by Priority Mail. Textiles may ship First Class if the weight is under 13 oz. If you buy more than one piece and the weight goes over 13 oz, priority mail is used. Your invoice will tell you what methods of shipping available. Your item will be packed and shipped with care and we will try to keep the cost as low as possible without jeopardizing your item’s safety. Insurance is included in the shipping price and delivery confirmation is provided free of charge.

LARGE ITEMS AND COMBINED SHIPPING:

The new postage regulations are going to make shipping large items and combining items challenging but we are going to try to streamline it for our customers. Any package over 1 cubic foot may be subject to higher postage depending on the zone to which they are shipped and the size. We live in Zone 4 and if we are shipping to Zone 4, this is not much of an issue. We will use available tools from and USPS to figure this on each invoice. Our intent is to charge actual shipping so if the estimated amount is more than the actual charge when the item is shipped, a refund will be issued to the buyer.

We will combine successful sales for shipping purposes unless the items are too numerous or large to put in one box safely. Again, larger boxes can cause shipping to go higher and there may be times when it is cheaper to ship multiple large items in their own box rather than trying to combine them in one large box. We will use the option most beneficial to the customer.

If you are buying one item, the postage should be figured and entered so you do not have to wait for our invoice if you prefer to pay for it quickly. If you need items combined, you should wait for our invoice which will have shipping figured at the most economical level. Occasionally, someone will just pay all the shipping costs without asking for a combined amount. If you choose to do that, we will refund any overage that has been paid by a Paypal refund.

Also note that textiles may be shipped in padded envelopes but in some cases, based on weight and thickness, that envelope may be treated by the post office as a package and therefore the postage will be more expensive because it does not meet the requirements for a flat envelope. Again, we will try to pack it the most economical way for the buyer but we have no control over USPS rules or rates.

SORRY BUT WE NO LONGER DO INTERNATIONAL TRANSACTIONS.
