LOGISTICS

* Shipping costs are R120 via Postnet.

* Please do have a look at my other Czech art glass items on offer : simply click on 'All Items' (top right of this screen).

* Please note that glass from the mid-20th century is vintage glassware and age related signs of wear such as small fine surface scratches/marks should be expected. The items are hand-made, they may have imperfections such as bubbles, inclusions and lumps within the glass. Tool marks from where they have been shaped and worked in the manufacturing process can often be seen. As this indicates authenticity and forms an inherent part of the character of handmade crystal glass, these are normally not considered as faults by collectors. This magnificent item is original and rare, hand-made Czech art glass (and not Italian Murano, Daum, Kosta Boda, Orrefors, Flygsfors, Swarovski, Leerdam, Val St Lambert, Whitefriars or Lalique studio glass). I personally sourced this rare beauty from the Czech Republic for my own private collection. A ppreciation and acknowledgement to Messrs Mark Hill, Jindrich Parik and the Vychodoceske Museum for their invaluable archival and comprehensive reference material. XKO3A
