Description: Beautiful piece of antique Meito bone china (Japan) produced prior to WW2: ME1549 oval Relish Tray/Nut or Candy which is in perfect condition with no chips, cracks, crazing, pattern loss, discoloration, or even damage to gold trim. This is a beautifully hand painted piece and measures 8 1/2 inches in length and is 5 inches wide. It is 1 1/4 inches deep so perfect to hold pickles, olives, etc. The colors are beautiful: aqua border with yellow scrolls and then ornate pastel floral swags on a very pale yellow background and white in center. The handles are trimmed in gold and the gold is in perfect condition - unusual on a piece this old. I purchased this at a local estate sale - heirs were keeping the place settings from this china set but sold some of the serving pieces. It had all been very well cared for. This piece could also be used on a dresser to hold jewelry, etc. Meito china was founded in 1908 and this pattern dates well prior to WW2. I have priced very reasonably. 1. All items I sell either come from or have been stored in a smoke free environment and are sold “as-is”. All items I sell are cleaned, washed, ironed and/or polished as necessary – I do not sell dirty items. I photograph and describe in detail to the best of my ability. I do NOT accept returns, so please read detailed description and look at photos carefully!!! I use my own photos of listing items taken in my home – never stock photos! You will receive the exact item(s) pictured in listing! I recommend that you look at Ebay listings on a computer or ipad rather than a smart phone – the phone app does not always easily display the complete listing description and you can miss much pertinent information!!!! Please contact me if you have any questions whatsoever or would like more information, and I will be glad to answer and/or provide additional photos if desired. I respond promptly to any questions. 2. I package very carefully and normally ship via USPS or UPS/Fedex by next business day following purchase and payment. Note: I don't recommend shipping very fragile or larger packages via USPS. USPS routinely mishandles shipments resulting in delayed delivery and higher than normal damage/loss. UPS/Fedex may be slightly more expensive; however, they handle shipments quickly and carefully and are much more reliable and reputable in the unlikely event of damage/loss! I will be glad to combine multiple purchases to save on shipping costs where feasible. If you wish to make a multiple purchase please contact me before paying for items so I may figure correct shipping and send you an accurate invoice. Packages are shipped with tracking and/or insurance. 3. I have been selling on Ebay for over 23 years, and unfortunately, carrier shipping charges and cost of shipping supplies, e.g., tape, bubble wrap, packing paper, boxes and printer ink, etc., have greatly increased in the last few years. I take that into account when setting prices and do my best to provide quality items at reasonable prices, prompt handling, and careful packaging. I try to set the lowest prices on Ebay for items of comparable quality and condition. Please read our feedback - buyers are enthusiastic in their praise and are very pleased with their purchases as well as quick handling and delivery.
