Seller: diggerlee ✉️ (35,943) 99.9%, Location: Yorkshire, GB, Ships to: GB & many other countries, Item: 145687622312 Antique French Pair Crystal Cut Glass & Gilt Bronze Hinged Lidded Vanity Boxes . IDIOTS - You know who you are ! Those of you that are selective readers !! You put in offers and have not read all the description or the shipping costs, then you don't pay, or you have no intention of paying at all. Well DONT waste my valuable time anymore. Best thing for you to do is delete yourself from ebay once and for all. Here is a pair of antique crystal cut glass cylindrical vanity pots - boxes with hinged lids.  The cut glass has a diamond crosshatch sort of pattern on it and is mounted onto gilt bronze metal ware that has a pretty floral pattern on it.  The base piece is heavy with the very bottom being made of ferrous magnetic iron and has 3 little gilt bronze feet on it.  No maker's marks etc, but having had many of these type of vanity boxes through my hands I can say without much doubt these will be French made.  I have never seen cylindrical vanity boxes before, nearly always the casket shaped boxes. These are unusual and very pretty in great antique condition.  In collectable condition with normal signs of age and use wear. No major damage from what I can see but there may be some nibbles on the edges of the glass and some knocks on the metal ware. The bottom of one is quite scuffed, not sure how that's happened. Please see pictures for more details and visual confirmation of condition. I have just noticed something whilst describing them right at this last minute.. They are both the same to look at visually from the outside but the inside little pot is different.. one is 5cm deep to the top rim and the other is 4cm deep. Of course whatever you put in the pots can be slightly longer as the lids are dome topped and you have 3cm or so stuck up.  They both measure approx. 4 and 1/2 inches tall and approx. 2 and 5/8 inches in diameter on the base. A single one weighs approx. 368 grams.  My stock ref: ...main cabinet. To see ALL my other 6000+ items for sale: please click on the  VISIT SHOP or click "see other items", strangely both only have a limited view of what I have to offer on each platform so to see everything click on Shop by Category which will give you a much better view. Scale is usually an English 1 penny coin which is 20mm in diameter which is just short of 7/8ths of an inch in diameter, or a universal Coke can, and we all know how big those are.

MY TERMS AND CONDITIONS:   

If you see  A/F = a/f  in the title or description it means  "as found"  condition which may have scuffs, scratches and damage.

Postage / shipping - if you have bought a number of items,  please wait for my combined shipping invoice before you pay to save us both money . Payment within 3 days please as non payer alerts are automated after 6 days.

Shipping to European countries: I have taken the decision to KNOCK ALL SALES TO EUROPE ON THE HEAD from today 12/11/21 due to me getting increasing numbers of items being stuck in CUSTOMS for weeks and months at the various countries namely Italy - France - Spain - Germany - Netherlands. Since the UK left the EU some countries have penalised their people by adding the customs duty and by holding onto packages for up to 6 months ( Italian buyer ) all this having a knock-on effect on me as the sender. I have got more "WHERE IS MY ITEM" disputes recently and the amount of items that eventually turn up is shocking. All this is out of my control so I will NOT be selling to buyers in certain EU countries, to save myself and buyers headaches and money in the long run. The ebay estimated time of arrival of items to ALL countries is miss leading too especially during this time of worldwide postal and shipping chaos.

 If you have any questions, please contact me via eBay messages.

I do accept returns which is 14 days on the antiques and second hand items I sell -  NOT 30 days

Don't forget I offer COMBINED SHIPPING if you WAIT for my invoice before you automatically pay after buying items.
