Diameter is ~8”. I’m unsure if it’s BMP, and if so, whether the medallion sticker is supposed to be there. It looks like BMP, but I can’t find any matches for this particular design, and the logo on the back isn’t one I’m familiar with. Any ideas?
Looking to price this, but it is unsigned and I don’t want to just take a guess. Similar ones online range from hundreds to thousands of dollars (CAD). Hoping someone here will have some knowledge on this, to give a better ballpark figure!
I thrifted this today, and in trying to determine its value, I feel I’m being gaslit by AI! Google “insists” no teapot was ever made with this pattern. I can find images of matching mugs, but can’t find any other pictures of this teapot. I understand that the mugs were limited edition, so that probably explains it in part. But I still expected I’d find something… Can anyone help me in valuing this?
First time Canadian seller with question about shipping. I’ve had my first sale (to a USA buyer), and it indicates that the buyer selected "Canada Post Tracked Packet - USA" (buyer paid shipping). Perfect, that was one of the options I selected to offer. But when I click "Get shipping label" the only shipping services being listed on the page are UPS and Fedex, and the cheapest of those options is double the cost of shipping that the buyer paid. The buyer paid $9.18 for shipping, which was accurate to what had been shown as an estimate when I selected the shipping options during listing, but I'm now being asked by ebay to pay $18.42 for a shipping label.
So the problem is twofold: 1) Canada Post is not being presented as an option for a shipping label, despite that being the option selected for shipping; and 2) Despite the fact that the weight and dimensions were added to the listing before I selected the shipping options (i.e., the shipping estimates should have been accurate based on my input!), and they show up correctly on the "Get shipping label" page, I am still being charged twice as much.
What have I missed? TIA!
Thrifted this guy tonight, new with tags, but can find no info on him online. No indication as to how common or rare he is, other than the fact I can’t find any sale listings or pictures or anything. Can anyone here fill in some of the gaps for me? TIA!
Thrifted this yesterday. Saw it on the shelf, thought “Well, that thing is hideous and unusual” and decided to open Google Lens to see what I was looking at. Google suggested it could be German and antique, so I brought it home.
There is a tree engraved on the handle, and there is an inscription on the side that I can’t read. It’s quite faded, and non-English. I’ve included photos to show it as best I can. There are two lines, and my best guess at what is written is:
“Kolo cixbax playcasto pije
teb oasuete dloccho zije!”
I tried Googling some of the words hoping for a translation, but didn’t get far. Some results in Croatian and Slovak, kolo = round, pije = drinks, zije = yawns?
I’m hoping someone can give me more insight on what I have, as well as the inscription. Origins? Age? Value? Anything at all?
TIA!
