Glass Liners:
Four (4) Amber Ribbed Pattern Glass Liners.  These beautiful liners measure 3 1/16 inches from stem base to top rim, with an upper rim diameter of 3 9/16 inches.  Each liner has a wonderful three different patterns as an upper rim border. The first is a 3 line standard wave; the second is 3 line straight surround; and the third is a complex 3 line swirl, with a large upper half circle swirl with a smaller full circle swirl emanating down from its center, looping down to 3, 3/4 circles. A larger one centered by two smaller ones.  These liners are in excellent shape with no scratches, chips or flea bites.
Eight (8) Clear Ribbed Pattern Glass Liners. These simple, yet elegant liners measure 3 3/16 inches from stem base to top rim, with an upper rim diameter of 3 11/16 inches.  Each liner has a wonderful flower pattern as an upper rim border. The pattern is of a long-stemmed flower, with a repeating pattern of a stem with two opposing leaves facing up, followed by two alternate opposing leaves facing out for 3 iterations followed by a a six-lobe flower, all repeating 3 times to complete a border around the rim. These liners are in excellent shape with no scratches, chips or flea bites.
Four (4) Clear Ribbed Glass Liners. These ornate liners measure approximately 2 1/2 inches from stem base to top rim, with an upper rim diameter of 3 7/16 inches. I suspect they are hand blown as they all have some variation in measurements. Each liner has a wonderful three flower pattern as an upper rim border. Each of the three flowers has a Daisey flower consisting of a center shape surrounded by seven lobes, with a group of leaves protruding out on each side of the flower.  Each of these groupings differs slightly leading me to feel they are hand etched. Three of these liners are in excellent shape with no scratches, chips or flea bites, but the fourth has a repairable flea bite on the upper rim.
These Sixteen (16) glasses liners fit any of the sterling silver desert cups, but are not included in the weight listed.
Desert cups guaranteed to be SOLID Sterling Silver (aka 925/1000 or .925) defined as 925 parts of pure silver to 75 parts of other metal (usually copper) per 1000 parts of material.

Weights are to the nearest tenth gram/five hundredths ozt, each item has been individually weighed on two different recently calibrated scales.
I am not in a rush to receive payment. If as a buyer/bidder, you wish to delay payment for up to 30 days in order to take advantage of combined shipping at reduced cost, please let me know.  The maximum amount of time I will wait for payment is 30 days and I will invoice on the 28th day after the first item purchased, if buyer has not yet requested an invoice.  There are certain postal fee break points that make economic sense for both the buyer and seller.  With silver weight is never the issue after 15 ounces has been exceeded, but volume is, so breakpoints are in space available in priority flat rate mailers (small, medium, large fixed rate priority and regional A & B). After these volume limits are exceeded USPS, UPS and FED EX have about the same rates on ground shipping, but package delivery takes longer than priority mail.
Combined shipping is provided at reduced rate on multiple item purchases, but you must request an invoice total before paying. Items will be packaged well to prevent damage during shipment. In the off chance that your shipment is received damaged, please notify me immediately upon receipt by providing photos of the shipment as received and of any damaged item.  Please retain all packaging material until damage claim is settled.
I have sold my large Victorian home and have downsized to a much smaller place.  Therefore over the next few months, I will be selling my large sterling silver collection at true auction with bids starting at {{detail_product_description}}.99, no reserve.  My silver is in storage, so I plan to go the storage site and grab a box or two for listing.  As those items sell, I will get another box or two and repeat.  I plan to list 3 or 4 items per day until my collection is liquidated. If I run out of storage room on listed/sold items I will have to slow down listings, but I feel payment within 30 days is most likely the sweet spot for successfully accomplishing this project.
Please save me as a seller, check back often to see new listings.
