Pr Antique Fischer & Mieg Pirkenhammer Plates Animals Bird & Frighrened Frogs

Description

Pair of soft cream color Fischer and Mieg plates about 9” across, 7/8” deep, with gold rims and, inside, transfer printed natural scenes both realistic and fanciful, highlighted in thickly handpainted gold. Elegant and formal, on one hand, but also with a sense of humor that would make them appropriate in a casual setting as well. Each is impressed “F & M” (one incompletely), stamped with a crossed hammer and crown hallmark, and handpainted with a little decorator’s notation. Excellent condition; a couple of thin, short glaze rubs on one; otherwise, they’re fine.
I always ship the business day after I receive payment.
An item may be returned if it is substantially different from how I have described it. I will pay return postage.
Buyer pays actual postage; there is no handling fee. Priority postage rates increased about 4% on January 24.
I always pack multiple purchases together to save on shipping.
Postcards and paper items are packed in poly sleeves with corrugated cardboard and sent in a padded mailer, for which USPS charges First Class parcel rate. This is new: First Class postage now varies with distance.
There is now very little difference between the rates for Priority and Retail Ground; it’s less than 10%. Since Priority Mail includes insurance up to .00, I have decided to send everything over 14 oz. by Priority. The exceptions are oversized boxes (Retail Ground) and books (Media Mail).
I will contact the winner immediately after the auction (unless you have already paid) and again when I ship the item, to let you know it’s on the way.
Thank you for looking, and for wading through the fine print.
