Giant Ruby Glass Bottle
with Cork Stopper
 Description: This
over-sized novelty bottle is a strong ruby color
with narrow panels in the neck and a modified snail
or scroll pattern  mold-blown
in the square body. The cork stopper adds an
extra funkiness. The maker is unknown, but the
best guess is the Empoli area of Italy, perhaps the
Empoli company. Looking for someone with a
sense of whimsy.Dimensions: Height of the bottle itself is 16", and with the stopper, it's an eye-catching 20" tall.". Body is about 7" per side. Company/Artist: Unknown Estimated Date: best guess is 1960s Condition: is very good. There's a bit of cork missing on the corner, which could be post-production or the nature of the cork. As happens with ruby, there's some burn-out in the color around parts of the body, a blackening of the color. Of course, all our sales are fully guaranteed. Price: $95 plus shipping and insurance. Shipping: Will vary based on location. Contact us for a quote. (We usually ship via Priority Mail, but we can do Parcel Post if necessary. Guarantee: Our guarantee is a fairly simple one. When you get the package, if you don't like the item, send it back. We'll refund the original price and original shipping charge. The only part you're risking is the cost to return it. And if we made an important mistake in the description, we'll cover the return shipping as well. (Saying something is 12" tall when it's really 10" counts as an "important" mistake. A spelling error does not.)  Mostly, we do things
this way because we think it's the right thing to
do, but we're also fully aware that a happy
customer is more likely to
be a repeat customer and tell
friends about this great site they found.Payment: First of all, we like getting paid. It really does make everything run more smoothly, so we try to be as flexible as we can. Essentially, if we can put it in the bank without breaking any laws, we'll probably take it. So checks that won't bounce are fine. We're only set up to take credit cards through Paypal unless you want to buy through our Etsy site. (For international sales, Paypal is easiest for us, but we'll listen if you have another preference.) We even take cash if it's not from a Monopoly set or freshly printed in your basement. Sorry, but we don't take  chickens.
If you have any questions about payment
methods, just get in touch.To buy an item (or more), just e-mail us, or you can call us at 812-467-0191. We'll confirm that the item is still available, make sure we agree on the total, and answer any questions you wish to throw our way. Checks or money orders should be made "Forrest OR Virginia Poston". We also take Paypal (including credit card payments). We try to ship in one or two days after payment arrives, and we're generous with the bubblewrap and styrofoam peanuts. If there's something you'd like us to find for you, let us know. We're just itching to please you, or maybe that was poison ivy we got into. Remember that all proceeds go to support good causes: my spouse, our cats (see the "staff" here), our creditors, my auction addiction, and the plumbing project that never ends.   |
