For your consideration, I am offering arare and exquisite, four compartment Dresden Kpm Serving Tray/Dish Centerpiece manufactured in Germany ....This large four compartment service dish with center handle isdecorated in pink to white hard paste porcelain in a shell shaped pattern with decorative gold accents and trimmed with gold...Embossed center handle with heavy gilt gold.. The serving dish consists of four evenly sized compartments with scalloped edging trimmed in gold...

Approximate measurements are 14 inches diameter with each compartment being 8.25 inches length by 6.25 inches width..Around 2.25 inches height on exterior sides of dish, 5 inches at handle..

Back stamp in blue scrolled cartouche - the crown over interlaced cursive \"L\" that was used on some pieces of hard paste porcelain..The Sevres date mark was originally used by the Royal Factory at Sevres, France from 1753 on...It has been copied on porcelain from England, Germany, France and the United States as well as other small factories.. I originally had this listed as a Sevres France piece, but with continuing in my research, I feel it might be more of a Dresden KPM ..

Light signs of previous use, ownership and antique age needs to be taken into consideration - 90% pristine condition - free if chips, fleabites, crazing, utensil markings or any type or restoration ..One area has a slight stress crack hairline measuring .25 inch along the edge -see picture #8 showing the underside and picture #9 shows the top side..Slight gold wear which should be expected with age..Some missing glaze on the center underside of large serving dish..

A PERFECT, elegant piece for your home as a lovely centerpiece or to be given as a gift to someone special!!

Due to its large size, will be double boxing for added protection..

I will try my best to protect prior to shipping by using paper, bubble wrap and /or peanuts ....NOW INCLUDING insurance with PRIORITY or UPS INSURANCE in the Shipping Quote - do not ask me not to insure package.. (internationally-plus expect additional custom fees)...BUT I do not charge for packaging material..I cannot see what your shipping quote says and by offerding, you are accepting that shipping price!!! Plus I do not pre pack due to combined ship specials, last minute questions and picture requests, So please be patient if requesting an updated invoice..When the price of stamp went up, so did the rest of shipping prices so leaving low response scores only effects my selling rating with ...

Comes from a smoke-free home, but we do have pets in our household, so there might be some fly away pet hair, so I am apologizing in advance...

I do take most of the photos outdoors to catch the natural coloring on each item I am selling, so there might be some sun shadows...

Any additional info needed or other photos, please do not hesitate to email me....If there are any imperfections that I see, will list them, BUT I am only human and might miss some...plus something may be of insignificant to me, may be of great importance to you, so if you have doubts or questions, PLEASE email me PRIOR to offerding...

ALL items are sold as is, and no warranties are implied or guaranteed..If I missed something major, again please email me prior to leaving a negative response...I am easy to work with...I do share the computer with other family members, plus either work part time or babysit twin grandsons, but will get back to you as soon as I have a chance..

PAYMENT through Paypal is the fastest way to go, but keep in mind that echecks through paypal do take 5-7 days to clear prior to be given permission to mail out your win...

PLEASE remember I have no control over the speed of the delivery once your package is dropped off at my local post office...You will be receiving a personal email through by me that I have the package in the mail and on its way once I receive payment through Paypal by the next available business day..Pick-up is at 5pm Monday through Friday at my local post office..If given enough time, will try to even have your win on its way by the same day of receiving payment..

LOVE to combine so do not hesitate to email me if interested in other items I am selling....Just give me heads up that you are offerding/watching on more than one item, will gladly wait until you are finished and send you a new combined invoice.....

Would appreciate payment within four days...(If watching another item past the four day timeline---EMAIL me and will turn off the item you have won) IF UNPAID WITHIN THE FOUR DAY TIMELINE, WILL AUTOMATICALLY OPEN UP A CASE IN MY BEHALF...If there is a problem and unable to pay within the 4 day time frame, feel free to contact me, we can certainly work something out... But PLEASE BE HONEST...Lately there has been more buyers that have been outofferding others, then decide not to pay in the end.. or win, come up with some excuse to cancel out transaction, and if I deny canceling transaction, will leave some interesting response anyway so it is becoming a lose/lose transaction on the seller\'s end..

GOOD LUCK and HAPPY offerDING!!
