2 Vintage Retro Pastel Porcelain Angels Accordion Lyre

This is a pair of porcelain Christmas angels from the 1950s. They are dressed in pretty soft pastels. One is playing an accordion, and the other, a lyre.

The only mark is a printed ©, although you can see the edge of company stickers remaining. It is almost a certainty that these were made in Japan. They are typical of the type of figurines sold at Woolworth and other stores in the 1950s.

BACKGROUND: I recently bought a large number of decorative, personal, and household things from a neighbor who is downsizing to a small assisted living apartment. Most of her things were purchased when she set up housekeeping in the early 1960s, but some were older family things, and some were gifts received in recent years. She took unusually good care of her belongings, and most are in exceptional condition.

SIZE: Each angel is about 3 7/8" tall.

CONDITION: This set is in very condition. One has no damage; the other has a chip the size of a sharpened pencil point at the bottom edge of her dress and several paint skips in the same area.

SHIPPING CHARGE FOR THIS ITEM: The total after-auction charges (shipping by the least expensive method, handling, insurance, and tracking/delivery confirmation) to addresses in the U.S. will be FREE. If faster delivery is required, priority mail in the U.S. would be $6.95.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: Shipping to out countries is expensive for anything weighing more than a few ounces. To avoid disappointment, PLEASE request a shipping quote before bidding.

	I've been selling antiques and collectibles since the early 1980s and had a retail shop until 2001. I buy most of my merchandise from residents of the retirement community where I live. Because many of the residents are quite elderly, I find lots of 1940s and 1950s cookware, china, and household items along with some earlier family pieces and many recent gift items (often never used).

U.S. Buyers:

• For U.S. sales I accept Paypal. I ship to the address on the Paypal notice.

• As required by law, I collect sales tax from all Washington State residents unless the buyer is purchasing for resale and has a valid UBI number.

International Buyers:

• I accept Paypal from international customers who have ebay feedback from at least 30 sellers.

For international customers with eBay Feedback from fewer than 30 sellers, I accept Paypal only if the customer's address is shown as CONFIRMED by Paypal.

About our Shipping Policies:

•  I quote exact domestic shipping, handling, and insurance charges in my auctions so that you can factor that cost into your bidding decisions. For your protection and peace of mind, I insure every package and purchase delivery confirmation or tracking for all domestic packages.

•  For domestic destinations, USPS is my shipper for small packages (up to 3 pounds) and FedEx for heavier items. For international packages, I use USPS.

•  I offer reduced shipping when more than one item is sent to the same address.

•  I normally ship within 24 hours of receipt of payment.

• The customer is responsible for duties, taxes, and other fees incurred on international packages. I complete customs documents honestly showing the item as merchandise with the high bid as the value.

For some items shipped internationally, Express Mail International may be required, as that class of international mail includes tracking.

I accept returns if notified within 7 days of receipt of the item. The item must be returned in the same condition as when shipped. If I have made an error in the listing, I will pay the shipping both ways; otherwise, the buyer is responsible for shipping.

I am happy to answer any and all questions from potential Buyers. Feel free to email me for additional information by clicking the Ask seller a question link to the right of the picture at the top of this page.
