Description

A set of 3 apothecary jars. I can’t find who made these but they’ve been done by hand and expertly. The maker’s mark is sand-blasted on the front but I’m unfamiliar with this mark. I bought these as soon as I saw them because of the style and the way they’ve been made- the style looks very Holmegaard to me. The proportions are spot-on and the simple style is captivating- beautiful, stylish, understated but they still attract attention. They look right at home with Holmegaard items as shown in the group photo.

I initially thought they looked 1950’s but after some research I’ve decided they’d be earlier than that. From the style they could be up to 100 years old but I really don’t know. These are a great investment. Apothecary jars are rich in history- we rarely see medicine bottles like this anymore, they’re so beautiful they’re perfect for display. They’re a great reminder of times gone by. After many modern décor items have ended up as landfill this set of HANDMADE vintage/antique apothecary bottles will continue to tell stories for generations to come. There are very few better ways to invest in your home and the future of our environment.

2006

This set of 5 vintage glass jars are in excellent condition for their age with no noticeable damage to report at all. NO cracks, NO chips, NO repairs. The bottom edge of each stopper is worn with small bumps- they show expected signs of normal use over such a long period of time. I don’t classify this as damage. This has happened through normal use over the years and should be there. This area is not on display and never noticed. The bottle sections show very light signs of use but nothing that would be classified as damage. They all present extremely well. Each piece is hand-made and as such is not "perfect" but this is the beauty of owning hand-made glass- none of these five bottles have maker’s flaws that are noticeable though. They're beautifully made! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Read our 1100+ ebay feedback comments (spanning 18 years) to be assured that all our items are described as carefully as I can.
PICK-UP . . . from 30 or 40 minutes North of BRISBANE city is accepted but postage is preferred as my home is hard to find. Because of this I will nominate a friend or family member for you to collect the item from if you need collection. Pick-up in person must be worked out prior to purchase- thank you. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ POSTAGE is offered internationally. All our Decorative Arts pieces are delivered through AUSTRALIA POST. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ POSTAGE ESTIMATES. . . . ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ To BRISBANE- most of our pieces cost $15 - $18 to send. . . To SYDNEY or MELBOURNE- Small Vase- around $20 - $23, Medium Vase- around $20 - $25, Large Vase- around $24 - $30. Let us know if you need an EXACT COST for postage prior to purchase. The above postage estimates include $2.95 for a signature on delivery. . . INSURANCE against being lost or broken in transit up to the value of $200 is included in the estimates above. If your vase is cheaper or more expensive than $200 this will effect your postage fee slightly. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A BOXING FEE of $3.00 is included in the fee above to cover the cost of searching for and storing used packing materials. With the millions of cardboard boxes that end up as landfill every year we don’t believe in supporting the manufacture of boxes for post. Instead of buying new boxes and packing materials and passing this cost onto our customers we spend considerable time sourcing used boxes and then fashioning boxes to fit each item. We do the same for bubble-wrap and foam pieces. This requires a large investment of time, energy, ingenuity, organization and storage space- it is much easier and cheaper to buy new packing materials but I can’t justify taking the easy way out when so much packing material ends up polluting our earth. Our $3.00 charge does little to pay for the time (and storage) needed do this and to pack your item (there is also the time needed to get your package to the post office). This is something we’re happy to do for our customers and the environment. We appreciate your support in this area.
We accept DIRECT BANK DEPOSIT. We send photographic ID of the store owner (Michael Grealy) to all customers at the point of sale, along with media articles about iNVISeDGE with photos of Michael Grealy in them (most of these articles are about 10 years old). Your payment will be paid into an Australian ANZ bank account under the name Michael Grealy (or iNVISeDGE). Please read our ebay feedback spanning more than 15 years for irrefutable proof of our online trading history and reputation. Ebay feedback can ONLY be left by LEGITIMATE PAYING customers! Additionally please be aware that in Australia ALL consumers are protected BY LAW if the goods or services they buy are not as described. (But this should be of no concern- in our first 15 years of trading we have over 1150 positive ebay feedback comments and ZERO negative feedback comments.) ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On occasions a DIRECT BANK DEPOSIT can be made at the time of collection. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On occasions CASH payment when you collect your item may also be available. Confirm prior to purchase if you need this. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Other payment methods are available but problematic and may incur additional fees. Tell us prior to purchase if you are unable to feel 100% confident with our trading history and payment methods so we can negotiate something else with you.
