I offer free shipping. I use the USPS. If you want an alternative service or priority shipping when the item weighs less than a pound, you will have to ask for it and pay for additional services.  Shipping time frames have changed.  First class is slowing down, and this is out of my hands.  So, if you want to faster, you have to pay for it.  Sorry.
I ship books MEDIA MAIL, NOT FIRST CLASS OR PRIORITY.  Same idea applies: If you want your book faster, you must pay additional fees.
About 4″ tall to the top of the finial. About 6″ across the handles. There are some white pops of ceramic on the sugar in the making.  There are no hairlines or chips. I do think the silver painting is fading. Of course, I don’t know what it looked like to begin with.  Some staining of the original green on the inside?  Hard to get a good photo without light flashes.  Any help would be appreciated.
