I want you to feel confident in your offerding! Happy, satisfied customers are my goal.Domestic shipping with full insurance for all domestic buyers will be a flat rate by USPS priority mail. Shipping prices jumped again this January so please understand these costs are beyond my control. You should also know that ,very unfairly in my opinion, charges its final value fee on the shipping charge as if this is income to sellers. Foreign buyers are welcome, but be advised that ship times during the Covid pandemic are typically double normal or even more. Please ask for a shipping quote before offerding.
Final Comment:These demitasse cups are wonderful even with their imperfections. And there are seven!! A must have, I\'d say! Please check out my other export porcelains, as well as antique glass, pottery, and porcelain.
