Rare Vintage Enesco Imports Japan Elf Head Vase Style Sugar Bowl

Description

I have just cleaned out an overstuffed curio cabinet, reducing the contents about 50%.
I hope that you will find a treasure that you will like.
Thank you for rehoming my “junque”.
Welcome to my listing where I offer this very rare elf sugar bowl.  The lid is missing.  Please see photos for size.  It is by Enesco Imports, Japan.  It was originally from a sugar bowl & creamer set.  As I didn't have the creamer, I have always displayed it with my head vase collection.  There are some flea bites to its ears & very minor paint loss.  It has crazing which is common with these mid-century pieces.  It has its original blue & silver paper label.  It can be used for its original purpose or added to your vintage elf/pixie collection.  Or you can display it as I did with your head vase collection.
Please have a look at my other listings & my store, MyCinderBug’sEmporium.
PAYMENT
: Prompt payment is appreciated. Payment should be made 3 days of end of listing.
SHIPPING
: We ship to the USA only via USPS & only to the address on your eBay account. Our goal is to ship within 5 business days or sooner after receiving
cleared payment
. We do not ship on postal holidays, weekends or during hurricanes & severe tropical storms. When feasible we are happy to combine shipping. Please contact us prior to making payment for a combined invoice. Once payment is made, we cannot offer any discounts as we would have already incurred selling fees. We understand how expensive shipping is & try to keep our prices as low as we can to help defer that expense.
PHOTOS
:
For some reason, when we upload photos to eBay, they show darker than they should be.
Please bear in mind that colors, (including black & white) shades & intensity vary from device to device. Your definition of white might be much brighter than mine.
ABOUT
US
: I inherited my picker gene from my grandfather.
My husband also loved to pick. We loved estate sales. We have had a hard time letting things go.
We are now at the age where we must let go.
We are too old to hold garage sales.
eBay is our online garage sale.
CONTACT US
: We welcome your questions & would prefer that you ask your question before you bid or purchase an item. Please contact us through eBay only.
We will respond the next time we are online.
If you have an issue with your purchase, please, don't attack us, threaten us or get verbally abusive.
We have experienced a few people who are just horrible human beings.
We are really nice people & want to have happy buyers.
GOLD & SILVER

VINTAGE

ITEM CONDITION
: We will always describe items to the best of our ability, knowledge of the item or what we were told at time of purchase.
Vintage items are rarely in perfect condition. We will point any flaws that we can see or are aware of. Photos are considered part of the description. We are not perfect and may miss a minor detail. If this happens, please contact us.
OUR HOME
:
We have a smoke free home but are owned by a cat and cannot guarantee that stray hairs will not make it to your home.
REFUNDS
: All items are sold as found & as is. Refunds are at the sole discretion of the seller. Shipping and handling charges are not refundable. We do not refund for buyer’s regret.
SHIPPING CHARGES
:
We have no control over the high USPS rates & cannot lower our shipping charges. We know postage is expensive (we are also eBay buyers). We have a small handling fee to defer some of our expenses.
We offer our items at low starting prices to help offset high USPS charges.
CANCELLING BIDS & SALES
:
We are experiencing too many requests to cancel bids & cancel sales.
A sale is a contract.
Make sure you really want the item before you bid.
We will no longer honor requests to cancel bids or sales. So please don’t ask us to do so.
UNPAID PURCHASES
:
We are having a real problem with buyers not paying for their items.
They will not be welcome back.
It is unfortunate that we have so many terms & conditions. Most eBayers are honest, however, a few bad apples have made it necessary to cover every scenario. We sincerely do appreciate your interest in our listings & value our customers.
