The Mode and Vogue shapes were produced for a very short period in the early 1930s before criticism of the solid, Triangular handles forced Shelley to withdraw them from manufacture and replace them with the similar, but open handled, Eve shape.
As such, examples of these items are particularly rare and realise extremely high prices.
This item offers the chance to have a piece of Shelley history at a far more reasonable price.
The condition of the items appears, to all intents and purposes, perfect. However both pieces have suffered in the past from hairline cracks which have now been sealed through professional restoration. The work is good and the repairs are not particularly noticeable unless the items are held to the light where they appear as dark, internal shading to the china. Both items do have that nice Shelley RING associated with undamaged items.
Otherwise the decoration is of a very high standard and the items clearly display exceptionally well.
Normally retailing in excess of $4-500 it is an opportunity to obtain a rare and collectable set at a fraction of the price.
Maximum Shipping of $16.00-20.00 dependant on destination. Optional Tracking and Insurance for Loss and non-delivery available for a further $8.00. |
