2005 Rowe Pottery limited edition Albany Slip two handled Maple Leaf vase 9.25"

Description

Here is the smaller of the two Albany slip salt glaze two handled vases that the Rowe Pottery Co. made in limited quantities in 2005. They do not actually list a total number of jugs produced; their site simply says these Maple leaf jugs would be the last Albany slip pieces they will make, since they were running out of clay. Some previous years' pieces from this Maple leaf pattern were limited to 500 pieces each. I can't find a production number total for these. Incised pattern with applied Maple leaf motif, and maker stamped. From the American Heritage website: Albany Slip Small Maple Leaf Vase - 9.25"H x 8.25"W. The Albany Slip collection continues in 2005 with the introduction of the small & Large Maple Leaf Vases. Since the Albany clay supply is almost gone these will be the last Albany Slip pieces made. This is the fourth and final in the series of handcrafted pottery decorated with true Albany Slip clay and fired in the traditional salt-glaze manner. The 2005 Albany Slip Maple Leaf vases include a Certificate of Authenticity.
ANY ITEM I HAVE FOR SALE IS ALSO AVAILABLE FOR LOCAL PICKUP - PLEASE CONTACT ME IN ADVANCE SO I CAN CHANGE THE LISTING TO LOCAL PICKUP BEFORE YOU PURCHASE, OTHERWISE IT WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH USPS AND SHIPPING WILL HAVE TO BE CHARGED.  THANK YOU!
THE ESTATE AUCTION I PURCHASED THIS JUG FROM DID NOT LOCATE THE COA TO GO WITH THEM. NO COA.
Piece is in good condition overall with no cracks or chips; I do see a scratch across the maker's mark that I highlighted in the photo. The apparent line at the top going down from the rim is NOT a crack, it's just a lack of glaze in that line during the firing process - appears to have been made with a similar type of tool that created the incising wavy pattern on the outside. There is glaze within the line but not on its borders.. I also have the larger piece listed in a separate auction that will end a few minutes after this one; if you are the successful bidder on both I will combine shipping for you, just give me a chance to pack them together and send you an invoice based on size and weight before you pay.

Please pay attention to the shipping calculator on large items, USPS has moved to dimensional weight pricing like the rest of the shipping companies, shipping cost is based on calculated size and weight for items with a size greater than 12x12x12 or equivalent.

Thanks for looking!
THE QUICK TAKE ON MY EBAY PRACTICES:
Ask questions and request more photos if you're unsure.
Refunds on undamaged items only and only with good reason. "I changed my mind" is not a good reason.
Buy the right part for your car. I know AMC, not the other makes. You know your car and its parts much better than I do.
Most items ship USPS
Shipping damage claims should be directed to the shipping company, not me. USPS offers insurance on items under 0 for priority mail ,and I pay for insurance on items over 0.

You are getting the item in the photo, I don't use eBay's stock photos (and even if a listing has an eBay stock photo, I still include my own picture of the item).
I welcome new ebayers to my auctions! After all, we all had zero feedback once. But, I've been burned a few times by ghost bidders that disappear after the auction end, so on any item that exceeds 0 from opening bid or from bid escalation, I reserve the right to request your contact information through eBay services. I may also refuse bids from bidders with poor feedback ratings, or bidders that I have had negative prior dealings with, at any time for any auction at any price. Legitimate bidders are welcome!
I do not clean or recondition items unless as noted in the ad, usually only to confirm condition of the item where condition may be hidden by dirt or grime. I leave restoration up to the successful bidder.
I am not an expert on other makes/models of vehicles either. Please ask questions! Request additional photos! If I'm listing parts for other makes/models it's because I ran across them and would rather see the parts get to a fellow car enthusiast who can help better their car with them, than see them go to the crusher.
Returns require advance contact for authorization and must be for a valid reason. A completed eBay sale is a contract between the buyer and the seller. "I changed my mind" is not a reason! No buyers' remorse, make sure you want it before you bid. Original packaging must be used when returning items. INVLOC G2LONGBOX
