Description: Here we have 5-piece place settings in an elegant, sleek, modern-minimalist Asian-inspired pattern -- Bamboo -- by Hammersley & Co for Tiffany & Co., being offered by the each place setting. Black on white, with gold rims. Altogether, we have 14** of these very scarce place settings from a single estate collection that also includes very hard-to-come-by serving pieces (covered vegetable bowl, oval platter, gravy boat with underplate, coffee pot, and creamer) as well as double-handled cream soup bowls/bullion cups with underplates and demitasse cups with saucers, **as well as four 5-piece place settings being sold separately from this listing due to their having some minor flaws. The last photo shows the entire collection but this listing is only for the minty/excellent place settings. Flat rate shipping combined shipping for the 5-piece place settings, regardless of their condition, is $22.50 for the first one, and $12.50 for each additional. We are happy to offer combined shipping at actual cost for all of the various pieces from this collection. Included in each 5-piece place setting is one of each of the following:Dinner Plate (10 5/8" diameter)Salad/Large Dessert Plate (8 1/8" diameter)Bread/Appetizer/First Course/Small Dessert Plate (6" diameter) Flat Cup (2 1/8" height x 3 1/4" diameter)Saucer (bowl shape) for Flat Cup (5 1/2" diameter)These minty/excellent condition 5-piece place settings, of which we had 10 when this listing started, are being sold by the each place setting (consisting of a total of 5 pieces.) The price shown is for one set of 5 pieces, and you may purchase as many as are currently available -- see the drop down menu at the very top, from which you will need to choose the number desired. If, for instance, the drop down menu shows a maximum number of 3, that means that 7 have already sold, and only 3 remain, so you may purchase between one and three 5-piece place settings. If you're having trouble finding the dropdown menu from the app on your smart phone, it is because eBay hid it very well -- try looking for it on the browser version (on a computer) where it's a whole lot easier to see. Maker/Marks: Hammersley & Co. for Tiffany & Co./please see photos Vintage: 1939-1970, the era in which the particular Hammersley & Co mark on these pieces was in use Condition: Our photographs reveal the condition best -- please enlarge and zoom in on them, and examine them carefully. We often add graphics such as arrows, circles, and text boxes to our photos to point out things of interest that might be hard to see, such as a price tag or maker's mark, as well as to highlight many condition flaws. Very clean and fresh, bright and shiny pieces in overall minty to excellent condition, which to us means that they have very few, very minor, flaws that are noticeable only under very close inspection -- meaning inches from your nose under a bright light, or under magnification. Your guests, seated at the table, will not be aware of any of these imperfections. Specifically, none of the pieces have chips, cracks, silver/gray utensil marks, stains, or crazing. Nearly all have 100% of gold present and shiny, but a few pieces have pin-point size dots where the gold didn't adhere -- there are very few of these, and they are noticeable only upon very close examination. All of the dinner plates, which were used more than the other pieces, have a few scattered, completely colorless, very light scratches to the glaze, the kind that are visible when the piece is held up at just the right angle to a direct, bright source of light. All of the other pieces have between zero and two or three of these completely colorless types of scratches. We consider funky odors (cigarette smoke, mildew, etc) to be an important part of a condition report. Corndogcache is a 100% non-smoking environment, and we'll let you know if any of our vintage items smell like it (or anything else) from activities they may have been involved in before they came to us.
