This is a nice vintage heavy red glass sherbert. I was surprised to find it marked on the bottom. It has a small etched J. I have no idea who that would belong to. The sherbert is in great shape with no chips, cracks or damage of any sort. It stands 4 inches tall and is 4 inches wide across the top. A great addition to your thumbprint collection!

All items are stored in a smoke free home! Sometimes family and friends save boxes and packing material for me as I am a nut about recycling. Some of them smoke in their homes. When I bring boxes etc home that have been given to me I store them with my shipping supplies in my garage and hope they will be aired out before I use them. If you are allergic to smoke please let me know and I will make sure a box and packing material is not from those sources. However once it leaves here I have no control over postal employees who smoke while driving around delivering mail.
Please remember that when you are bidding on vintage, antique, secondhand, collectible and estate items- most are not 100% perfect and will show some evidence of age, usage and general wear. I buy what I like and sell them as I find them. I do not attempt to make repairs and rarely even clean them. I try to describe items as honestly and accurately as possible and some things that I see as normal aging, others might see as a flaw or defect. I do not claim to be an expert and don’t always know what to look for when examining an item SO PLEASE EMAIL ME WITH QUESTIONS.
Due to new Ebay rules because there are sellers who overcharge on shipping....I now have to use a calculator or an exact shipping cost. Since all my items vary in size and everyone lives in different postal zones an exact cost is not possible( not unless those of you who live closer to me want to pay for a shipping rate to Hawaii) because I would have to use the higher rate to cover shipping that is farthest from me. So please use the calculator and know that I am estimating on the high side since I cant wrap up and store every item in a box ready to be shipped. If it winds up costing less to ship I always refund any overcharge back to the buyer through Paypal. With Ebays shipping calculator a weight range is used. International buyers please email me for a shipping
quote prior to bidding. USPS rates have increased and shipping options
are limited. I accept paypal from international buyers as well as money
orders (in US currency). There are limited ways to ship internationally
now. First Class International is the cheapest but doesn't offer
insurance. Priority Mail International comes with an indemnity which
covers like insurance and is based on the weight of the box. I usually
quote the cheapest way to ship but if you have a preference please let
me know as soon as the auction is over. Sometimes Ebays shipping
calculator is off on International Shipping quotes so if you are
overcharged I will do a partial refund thru paypal. I will also send
you a copy of the postal receipt and the customs form for your records.
I will not alter the selling price nor put gift on a customs form so
please do not bother asking.Payment needs to reach me within 10 business days of your receiving the invoice. Communication is important when buying or selling on Ebay so if I don’t hear from you I will not hesitate to report you as an unpaid buyer with Ebay. Please let me know if you are mailing payment so I can let you know when it arrives. I ship within 24 hours of payment and use USPS. However if you want UPS I have no problem shipping out that way. I am just not sure how it can be changed with the new system. I always allowed the buyer to choose whether they wanted insurance on an item under $20. Over that I required it. There is no way to do that with the new system. My only choice is make it required and if you dont want insurance for an item under $20 then I will try to refund it through paypal. I am still not sure if I can do this and am waiting for a response from Ebay. So email me as soon as you make your payment through ebays message system and let me know if you dont want the insurance and I will see what I can do. I am sorry for all the changes but I didnt make them. I will not be responsible for damage or lost packages during shipping. I have shipped hundreds of fragile items worldwide with no problems because I pack well. A $2 handling fee is added to all shipping totals and goes towards packing materials and pays for delivery confirmation on US shipping. I do not profit from charging a handling fee. For that matter when I did my taxes for last year shipping cost me several hundred dollars out of my pocket. If I could afford to absorb the cost I would.
Good Luck bidding!
