ANTIQUE SMALL YELLOW WARE MIXING BOWL 5 1/2 INCHES BLUE BANDS

Description

This listing is for an antique yellow ware mixing bowl in a very small size measuring 5 1/2 inches across the rim.  The bowl has the overshot rim and ribbed outside wall with lovely blue and white band decoration.   I don't know who made it.   This little bowl is in very good condition with no chips or cracks.  There is a tiny hole in the bottom of the bowl from manufacture.  It doesn't go through the bottom - it's maybe an eighth of an inch deep.  This is the kind of imperfection these yellow ware bowls are likely to have, but this is a bad place to have a big dimple like this.  Difficult to clean.  The glaze is worn away right around the hole.   It's not impossible to clean - just a pain in the neck to do it.  It's still great for a looker or to finish out a nest - I don't think the little ones get used that much anyway.  Otherwise there is a tiny little chippy on the outside rim that may be damage or from manufacture, but bowl is really in very good condition.   I have other yellow ware, stone ware, mixing bowls and tons of kitchen stuff listed in my store.    All of my items were found in estate sales and cleanouts on Cape Cod.  None of the items have been touched by the public, just stored in totes. All items have been stored for weeks or thoroughly washed.  I am in a low risk area and I am observing all precautions for virus protection.
I TRY TO USE THE CHEAPEST RATE POSSIBLE ON USPS, using FIRST CLASS, MEDIA and PARCEL SELECT rates whenever I can. Books under one pound will always go First Class, because it's much faster than Media for only a little more money.  I get a great discount on Priority Mail from eBay, so often when I buy the label Priority is about the same as Parcel Select or the other Standard Mail rates.  If it only costs a little more, I will absorb the extra cost myself to get the free insurance with Priority and then I can use the free boxes they provide.  It won't cost you more than the Standard Mail rate listed for your purchase. If you want Priority to speed delivery, you can always ask for that option, and I am likely to refund a small amoumnt of postage when I buy the label through eBay and get my discount.  Priority is much faster, no doubt.  I pack carefully, and fragile items will always be in an ample-sized, sturdy box with lots of bubble wrap and foam peanuts used.  I always use recycled peanuts, and when the virus is over, I will go back to using sturdy used boxes whenever I can.  I only use USPS, because FedEx and UPS have told me at their offices here on Cape Cod that they WILL NOT insure antiques and collectibles.  I have had 22 years of excellent service from USPS, with only a few problems out of thousands and thousands of packages sent.
