Vintage 22 kt Gold Cream and Sugar Bowl from Czechoslovakia

Description

Vintage 22 kt Gold Cream Pitcher and Sugar Bowl with Lid
from Czechoslovakia
This set was a wedding present to the in-laws in the 1950's
We assume they were new at that time, rather than a family heirloom
They may have been used
occasionally
, otherwise, they were stored in the china hutch
We found the following information about the porcelain mark on the bottom of the items ??:
The company, St. Michael, was founded out of a responsibility to Czech traditional production. Due to economic circumstances, the Haas & Czjzek brand, whose origins and traditions date back to 1792, has ceased to be offered on the market. We therefore see it as very symbolic that we can further develop our idea and belief in the strength of this Czech porcelain brand, which is the cradle of porcelain in the Czech Republic. It is with great humility and joy that we are now launching a porcelain cross with a significant amount of Czech handicraft, decorated with gold and equipped with the brand of the oldest Czech porcelain factory.
The Necessary Disclaimer:
We are downsizing wonderful collectibles, most of which are vintage/antique.
Some of these items were purchased in previously-owned condition from German/European flea markets and some items are from our personal life-long collecting.
We will not purposely misrepresent the items, but we are human, with middle-age eyesight, and may not capture all the potential issues in the description and/or pictures.
Since most of the items are not new, please email any specific questions you may have about the item and/or its condition before bidding.
We are a non-smoking household, but we cannot guarantee all items have been that way 100% of the time.
We participate in the
eBay Global International
shipping program for sending items outside the United States.
Please understand we do not have any control over the costs beyond the actual item price and the initial postage to get the package to the distribution center.
It can get very expensive to send the winning item to its final destination once the import fees and international postage costs are added by the eBay Global process.
Buyers are expected to pay for their winning bid within three (3) days of the end of the auction unless alternate arrangements are made PRIOR to closing.
HINT for Submitting “Best Offer” in connection with Auction Listings:
If we include the option of a “best offer” when an item is listed in the auction format (rather than a buy-it-now format), we are more likely to accept an offer that is greater than the starting price.
We will not seriously consider offers that are significantly below the starting price of an auction or respond with an counter-offer.
