FENTON YELLOW PINK CUSTARD GLASS PRESIDENTS BASKET, 178 OF 1500, SIGNED ROBINSON

Description

AMERICAN ART GLASS HONORING THE MEMORY OF BILL FENTON
THIS IS ONE OF 3 MATCHING NUMBERED PIECES OF FENTON THAT I WILL BE LISTING. IT IS INCREDIBLY RARE TO HAVE MATCHING NUMBERS, BUT I AM SELLING THEM SEPARATELY. THIS PIECE IS THE BASKET. IT WAS HANDCRAFTED AND SIGNED BY FENTON ARTIST DONNA ROBINSON. IT IS PART OF THE PRESIDENTS' COLLECTION THAT WAS ISSUED IN 2005 ON THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE AMERICAN GLASS MAKER. THIS PIECE IS IN MEMORY OF BILL FENTON AND IS NUMBERED 178 OF ONLY 1500 PRODUCED. IT COMES IN ITS ORIGINAL BOX (THE BOX DOES HAVE "PINK AND YELLOW BASKET" WRITTEN ON TOP). THE BASKET FEATURES A TWISTED ROPE APPLIED HANDLE, RUFFLED EDGE, FLUTED SCALLOPED BODY AND PEDESTAL BASE. IT IS IN PALE YELLOW AND PINK CUSTARD GLASS WITH HANDPAINTED FLOWERS ON BOTH THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE BASKET. IT MEASURES 8" WIDE X 9" TALL INCLUDING THE HANDLE OR 4.5" TALL WITHOUT IT. IT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH NO CHIPS, CRACKS, BREAKS OR REPAIRS.

ALSO, EBAY NOW CHARGES A 10% FINAL VALUE FEE ON ALL SHIPPING CHARGES. PAYPAL ALSO CHARGES AN ADDITIONAL 5% FOR A TOTAL OF 15%. THIS COST IS INCLUDED IN THE SHIPPING CHARGES. IT GOES DIRECTLY TO EBAY AND PAYPAL AND DOES NOT BENEFIT ME. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS WHEN RATING THE SHIPPING COST.
AS PER EBAY POLICY, INSURANCE IS NOW INCLUDED IN THE SHIPPING AND HANDLING FEES. I RECEIVE MANY REQUESTS ABOUT SHIPPING USPS FLAT RATE. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THEIR ADS ARE DECEIVING IN THAT THE LARGEST FLAT RATE BOX IS ONLY 12 X 12 X 5 1/2 AND THE 5 1/2 PREVENTS MOST ITEMS FROM SHIPPING. IT ALSO COSTS .95 TO SHIP AN ITEM IN THIS BOX (DISCOUNTED ONLINE RATE). THEREFORE, ANOTHER BOX IS NOT ONLY NECESSARY, BUT USUALLY LESS EXPENSIVE. I TRY MY BEST TO KEEP COSTS TO A MINIMUM. ALSO, EVEN BOUGHT IN BULK, BUBBLEWRAP IS 12 CENTS PER 12" SHEET,  PACKING TAPE IS SEVERAL DOLLARS PER ROLL AND PRINTER INK IS ALSO EXPENSIVE.
