Sales Policies

            Descriptions:  Production flaws, such as glaze skips and
            dents that are glazed over, are mentioned if they are plainly visible
            when the piece is displayed normally. Minor glaze irregularities
            (such as pinpricks of lost glaze) are common in older pieces
            and are not always mentioned. Descriptions include all
            post-production glaze flakes, glaze wear, chips, cracks, hairlines,
            and restorations, which I search for diligently. If you would like a
            color photo, I would be glad to mail one.

            Payment:  Payment for all purchases should be by check or
            money order. I do not accept credit cards. Buyers are responsible
            for shipping and insurance charges, which are not included in the
            prices quoted on this website.
           
            Sales Tax: No sales tax is payable on items shipped outside
            the District of Columbia.

            Shipping and Insurance: I will double box your purchase and
            ship to you by UPS with appropriate insurance coverage. Let me
            know if you prefer US Postal Service. Since the cost for each
            delivery varies, I normally discuss charges at the time of sale.
            If a piece arrives in damaged condition (it has happened to me only
            once in twenty years, but the risk is always there), please retain all
            packing material and contact me immediately.

            Returns:  Any piece that you buy from me may be returned for any
            reason for a full refund of the purchase price, so long as you notify me
            within one week of the time you receive it that you wish to send it
            back, and it arrives in the same condition it was in when I shipped it.

            Notification Before Return Shipments:  Since I travel a good
            deal and do not have an office assistant, you should not ship any
            piece back to me until you have confirmed that I will be available
            to accept delivery. Leave a message in my e-mail or on my telephone
            answering machine, and I will contact you as soon possible to
            schedule a shipment date.

            Shipping and Insurance on Returns:  You will be responsible
            for all shipping and insurance charges on returns. You should insure
            any return shipment for the amount of your purchase price since you
            will bear the risk of loss if the returned piece does not reach me in the
            same condition it was in when I shipped it.

            Updates:  I will try to keep this web site current, but all items shown
            here are offered subject to prior sale.
