L Straus & Sons LS&S Carlsbad Austria Saucer (s) Pink Roses Blue Flowers Antique

Description

L Straus & Sons LS&S Carlsbad Austria Saucer (s) Pink Roses Blue Flowers Antique
Pink roses, blue flowers, green vines/leaves, gold trim.
5-3/4” diameter
Condition: The floral design has minimal wear. There is obvious wear to the inner gold trim line and the trim on the edge and light scratches and areas of light wear from stacking. May have a small mark or discolored glaze pit. Bases may be rough and have small nicks. No chips, cracks, or crazing.
More details: Two backstamps: one is green and shows a crown with a fish below and “Austria.” The other is for LS&S Carlsbad Austria, used by L Straus & Sons. A hand painted number is also present – please see the photos. L Straus & Sons was an American importer affiliated with Macy’s department store. The company had their own porcelain decorating factory in Carlsbad, then part of Austria. (Some trivia: Isidor, one of the Straus sons, went down with the Titanic.) Based on historical information, I am guessing these saucers are pre-World War I. Although the rest of the set has scalloped edges, the edges of these saucers are plain.

The Fine Print
Shipping Rate:
This listing has a flat shipping rate for one piece, with an "each additional piece" price if you buy more than one (calculated automatically). My “each additional piece” prices are determined by how much it will cost to ship the items at least halfway across the country. I am in the Pacific Northwest. If you are anywhere west of the Rockies, contact me with your “ship to” zip code – your shipping may be less.
Combined shipping? Yes.
If you purchase items from more than one of my listings at the same time, use Add to Cart for the quantity you want from each listing and then click "Request Total." (The Request Total link is only available if you are shopping through eBay’s website, not on their mobile device app.) If the Request Total link is not available, you can pay for the least expensive shipping method presented and I will refund the excess. Don't forget to change the quantity first if you want more than one of something.
Shipping Method:
I ship by USPS, UPS, or FedEx, depending on the weight and destination. If you select USPS Parcel Select, I may change it to one of the other services if it offers a faster shipping speed and insurance. I am pleased to ship to APO addresses.
If you are concerned about the shipping cost, please contact me before agreeing to purchase.
“Ship To” Address:
To avoid shipping delays and possible added expense, make sure your payment source has your correct “ship to” address. Also, I am happy to ship to a third party, but please be sure to provide that address before making the payment. Address change requests after payment may result in cancellation of the order.
Communication:
Please contact me if you have any questions about your order. Also, keep an eye on your eBay messages/emails after you make the purchase, in case I need to contact you.
Local Pickup:
If you are interested in a local pickup, please contact me before purchasing so I can add that choice to the shipping options.
International Buyers
: All fees incurred in your country are your responsibility. I will not mark an item as a gift on the Customs form. If I’ve included
eBay's International Standard Delivery, be aware that it is economical but be sure to check the estimated delivery time - it's slower than USPS Priority International. Most items over USD 30 will ship using eBay’s Global Shipping Program only.
I ship my items in corrugated cardboard boxes, with packing peanuts and bubble wrap.
Payment must be received within 4 days.
Returns:
If you are not pleased with your purchase, you may return it within 30 days in “as sold” condition. Please retain all packing material and/or replace damaged bubble wrap with new if necessary, to ensure an undamaged returned item. Please contact me first before starting the return process so I can have the chance to resolve the issue.
