This stunning crystal bowl came from my mother-in-laws estate in Beverly Hills. I've been a part of the family since 1982 and I know it was in her possession before that. Orrefors introduced this design called 'Corona" in 1978, so this bowl dates between 1978 and 1982. That would put it at one of the earliest ones produced. It was always displayed in a closed glass door hutch and was never used. It is in 'like new" condition. Sorry, no box.
I am discounting the item quite a bit due to an upcoming move.
In my last photo (below), I tried to show the signature on the bottom, but it didn't come out too good.
From Orrefors website:
"Lars Hellsten designed the Corona bowl at the Orrefors Glassworks in Southern Sweden. Corona was inspired by the light surrounding the moon, as Hellsten, one of Scandinavia's finest glass designers, cites nature as his leading design source. Made of purest crystal in the centrifugal technique, which challenges the skills of both artist and glassmaker, Corona has been among Orrefors" best-selling classic designs since it's introduction in 1978".
Height is 3 and 3/8 inches, Width is 4 and 1/2 inch."
Orrefors item number 6438431. Retails today for $175.
Due to the weight, shipping will have to be via USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate packaging. Insurance and signature confirmation will be utilized, meaning the box MUST BE SIGNED FOR at time of delivery. Since these safeguards are for the protection of us both, I split those costs with the buyer.
Buyer to pay $12.95 Insured USPS shipping charges. Delivery is from Nevada.
SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT POSSIBLE PARTIAL REFUND OF SHIPPING CHARGES:
Every January the postal service increases shipping charges. Previously, shipping charges were based solely on weight and zip code. This year the postal service went a bit overboard. Now, with this year's increase, the postal service has divided the United States in to 8 zones and all packages are charged by weight, size, and destination zone. This latest increase has added an additional .96 cents to up to $2.83 on packages, depending on their destination. I try to absorb some of the new charges and haven't increased my shipping charges in several years, but that's getting harder with each increase.
To complicate things even further, Google will not promote or show items for sale unless they have a designated cost, or unless the seller uses calculated shipping. My web host is not equipped to figure calculated shipping, so I have to quote a shipping charge using the east coast as the final destination and then refund over payments. When I return the overage, I usually do so by including cash inside the package when it's shipped. My feedback page will show verification that I do return overpayments.
COMBINED SHIPPING INFORMATION
I do combine shipping on multiple items purchased as long as all items can fit safely into a single box. However, my web host does not have the ability to calculate multiple item shipping costs. At checkout, you will be charged full shipping price on each item purchased and I will refund the appropriate amount of overpayment. If you are uncomfortable with any of that, you can send me an email with your zip code and stating which items you'll be purchasing and I'll calculate the correct combined shipping charges and send you a custom invoice.
INTERNATIONAL PURCHASES
Due to claims that merchandise is not being received at various international countries (although Customs tracking verifies the delivery), I will no longer be able to process international orders unless payment is made with U.S. currency, including conversion fees. Orders will be processed after funds have cleared a U.S. bank. PAYPAL WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED FOR INTERNATIONAL PURCHASES. Seller reserves the right to void any international transactions where contact has not been made prior to purchasing.
All items in my listings come from either estate or garage sales. I do not know if they came from homes where smoking or pets were present. All items are sold in the same condition as when I received them.
