Figural Elegant Mug Coffee Cup Ceramic Pottery EUC OOAK

Description

Well, well, what have we here?
Up for bid is this delightful figural elephant mug, evidently handcrafted but unsigned. The mug stands about 2-3/4" tall, with an upper diameter of around 3-1/2". It comes to you in excellent condition, with light surface wear commensurate with age and display, but no signs of damage, like chips or fractures. What a charming piece, perfect for the collector of Elephants!
The cold, hard truth, aka shipping & handling terms:
As projected by eBay's shipping calculator, domestic shipping costs on Priority packages reflect USPS counter price--with First Class parcels being a close estimate of actual price within the fluctuating per-ounce rate--plus {{detail_product_description}}.73 in my handling fees.  International bidders will need to contact me for a shipping quote, which will include a 10% handling fee on postal costs.  This handling fee not only contributes toward the obvious selling expenses of bubble wrap, boxes, printer ink, and tape, but more significantly towards the steep selling fees imposed by both Ebay and Paypal on your total invoice (item + shipping).  Imagine that on even a 99c transaction, I will be charged 90c in seller's fees; the sale of a dollar mug will incur me over in fees--the higher the cost and weight of the item, so too the fees.  Without the buffer of a handling fee, I would not be able to afford to stay in business.   So, if you want this awesome item--and you know you want it!--these are the buyer's terms that you are agreeing to.
I beg you to bear this in mind when leaving feedback about what constitutes "very reasonable" shipping & handling charges--I strive to earn your 5-star rating!
Mix it, match it, throw it in your basket!
I am happy to combine shipping on multiple purchases, so if you'd like, please take a look at my other auctions.  A handling fee per item still applies (see tedious and preachy explanation above).
Meow!
This item comes from a smoke-free, cat-friendly home.  Thanks for looking and happy bidding!
