SUPERB ANTIQUE 18C CHINESE QING CARVED COCONUT CUPS

I will be selling a good number of antiques including some good examples of treen, tribal art, Chinese, Islamic and European antiques. PLEASE NOTE: unlike many of my auctions this week this one is in GB Pounds Sterling.

This is a wonderful pair of early Chinese carved coconut and silver / silvered metal lined wine cups dating to the 18th Century and with typical very fine shallow relief carving of willow trees, fishing boats etc. For their small size the detail is fantastic and as the photos show they have a fine glossy patina and are in superb condition. I am selling them at a very low starting price and with no reserve.

Please read down the entire listing for Dimensions, Condition, Postage & Payment Details – most of the information you will need is here on this page but please get in touch if you don’t find what you are looking for.

Condition & Dimensions

Excellent overall condition. Light wear, particularly to the thin lining which has been bent in places but the coconut shells are in fabulous condition with no damage.

They have a diameter of about 2.4″ / 6.2cms and stand about 1.2″ / 3cms tall.

More than just a pretty picture. Try Vendio Image Hosting.

For your peace of mind and mine items will be sent fully insured unless otherwise requested. I will be posting from WEDNESDAY 8TH to MONDAY 13TH SEPTEMBER so payment must be received by SUNDAY 12TH SEPTEMBER at the very latest. PLEASE be a little patient with the post – I will get them posted asap but I work on my own, have a lot to post and I do pack carefully!

CHINESE RARE CARVED ca.1850 QING OX BONE BUGS IN PEPPER

I want my customers to have a Great buying Experience. Ebay has a feedback system that can affect a seller negatively if we receive anything less than a 5 star feedback. I go out of my way for my customers here on ebay because I believe a good buying experience is the least one should expect when investing in an antique or any piece for that matter. My goal is for you to have the best buying experience on ebay. Maybe you will come back and shop with me again as most do.  If there are any issues with your order I ask that you contact me immediately as I am here for my customers, and will always make it right!!                             DESCRIPTION—–FRom the Estate of Alfred Collete. 30 year Art History and Museum Curator for Syracuse University. All of the pieces I am offering this week are from an Amazing estate and 50 + year collection of the Best Chinese antiques.  NO RESERVE.     Here we have a rare Chinese Qing dynasty ca.1850 hand carved ox bone pepper with Bugs, flowers and creatures inside Scholars Wrist rest. For resting the hand when writing fine caligraphy.This item was relisted this week because I wanted to have it correctly described, because I did not realize what it was, so I wanted it to be accurately seen by everyone. The piece sold for $2400 and I am told is worth much more now that we know it’s a Scholars wrist rest The item number is 250683347667 Incredible carving and one of the finest I have ever seen. As fine as any Netsuke work I have ever seen and same material. The bugs are incredibly detailed and walk throughout painted orchids and fine leafage and pepper seeds. Done by a master as are most of the pieces I am offering this week. This is a great piece and part of a superb estate collection I am offering. Measuring 16cm long or 6″ long x 3″ wide. This was on ebay some time ago and was up to $800 with 3 days to go, but I pulled it. Now, I am ready to sell this rare piece. Great original carving from ca.1850 with very fine Age Striations and patina. I guarantee you will love this when you see it. Appraised some time ago for $5500. This is one of those great pieces that you will always find superb pleasure with the Scholar who used this most likely produced some incredible writings Great condition, with a tiny fracture up by stem. You can see it in pic #6 and it does in no way affect the piece and is apart of it. Just age. I ship all over the world. Please take a look at all the items from this small but RARE and Important collection. I ship all over the world. No reserve I ship all ALL over the world!!!!!!! Please check out my other items!  I list at NO reserve each week.  ALL OF MY AUCTIONS INCLUDE A FULL MONEY BACK GUARANTEE, FOR ANY REASON, PERIOD. ALL I ASK:  AN IMMEDIATE EMAIL FROM YOU UPON RECEIPT OF THE ITEM, AND THEN: THE ITEM’S RETURN WITHIN 7 DAYS. IF IT’S MY FAULT (MISSED A CHIP, ETC.), RETURN SHIPPING IS ON ME, OTHERWISE YOU PAY THE RETURN SHIPPING. I answer all of my emails within 24 hours hours. Please do not get upset if you cannot get me that very night. You will here from me, and you will find I love to work with my clients. I always make it right!   IMPORTANT INFORMATION BELOW      SHIPPING-Within US. I ship All over the US. Please take into account that shipping to California cost’s twice that of shipping to New York for example. I do invoice higher for California addresses, so please ask if you want to know how much more.      I ship all over the world, and ship USPS (EMS) Express with tracking (for both our protection) and because of customs in most countries holding items up to a week or two after shipment, I ask that all Foreign bidders take this into account and any feedback relevant to any excess in shipping time is null and void, and is not our fault.   I SHIP ALL PACKAGES WITHIN 2-8 BUSINESS DAYS DEPENDING UPON THE ITEM WON. A FINE PIECE OF PORCELAIN, GLASS, SILVER OR ANY ANTIQUE REQUIRES ATTENTION TO PACKING, MATERIALS, AND TIME. I PUT A GREAT DEAL OF TIME INTO PROPER SHIPPING AND I AM NOT AN EXPRESS STATION (MEANING IF YOU WANT IT IN TWO DAY YOU MUST CONTACT PRIOR TO THE AUCTION ENDING) I WORK VERY HARD AT PROVIDING THE BEST SHIPPING SERVICE, WHICH IS AS IMPORTANT AS WINNING AN ITEM. I SHIP USPS PRIORITY MAIL WITHIN THE UNITED STATES.                 I have tremendous presence in the Antique world and have many avenues we acquire our pieces from. Needless to say, we believe we have great taste and an eye for the best. I  work tirelessly acquiring the finest one of a kind antiques you can find on ebay, or anywhere else for that matter. NO JUNK!!!! Only the better pieces. There is WAY too much bottom out there and here, and I want to change this. PLEASE Watch all my auctions and be sure to add me to your FAVORITE sellers list. Please take into full consideration that our starting price in NO way reflects what we have into the items listed. We May pay a hundred times the starting $9.99 starting price. We trust in the ebay system and believe the market will find the right prices for the pieces. We go to great lengths to bring the finest quality on ebay with NO reserves. Many people are astounded at the quality we consistently offer and are repeat buyers. Often times we put collections together just so that you will have a choice within that category..  Often times you will search ebay for quality antiques and there will be few if ANY bids on many of the items. Many people are very suprised to see there are bids on all of my items. I don’t think there are too many sellers out there willing to let the market decide the true value of an object I ABSOLUTELY INTEND TO SELL TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER. It’s not unusual for me to spend a day or two driving to an auction or working with estate sellers to find one or two good items that week and list them on ebay only to sell an item at a loss. I work at the fringe of current market trends and know what people are looking for. I often see my items at antique shows selling for three, four times what they sold for here on ebay. I strive to get the best.  we work to provide the best items possible with few problems.  Please keep an eye out every week for new items I will be listing. This Spring and summer we will impress you with the same fine quality we have been  offering, at “No” reserves and our consistent $9.99 start to our auction. In no way does this reflect what we have invested in these items.  We ship all over the world..  No reserve as always..  We ship Anywhere in the world      We do not charge a handling fee with shipping. We are now listing shipping price, but please take into consideration these prices are “Without” insurance and we ask that you “WAIT” to pay for won items after the auction so we may add the necessary Insurance (required) into the invoice. Again! Do not pay for the item until we send you an invoice through ebay.  These prices are also for East coast costs and West of the Rockies will require an additional charge. It’s not us as the USPS has raised their rates 1/3. We ship Priority and pack very, very well. Insurance is included in all shipping prices. Our prices are very good. I know you will be happy. Please remember that all items are sold ”as is” and sold that way, unless I make a mistake in the description.   Please be “Confident” in knowing I don’t doctor bids and stand by the credo of morals, market price, and money. I wish I could be as transparant as scotch tape, but because of the infestation of scammers out there, you just have to trust in someone. In my auctions, you see what you get. That’s what “Todays” current value of that item. Though on ebay one never knows! We have seen stellar prices for items that turned out to be winners.  I do want to add a however. I see many of the items my customers purchase from me at shows, and auctions I attend going for double what they paid here. While I believe I set the price, I also believe I set the standard.       Please look at my “Sellers Other items page” for a look at all of our best items we are listing this month. Many of these are superb. We believe these are the best pieces and it should be an important decision. All sales are “as is”, where is and I do not Guarantee any antique or it’s value as it’s a matter of matter of market shifts and current economies. Buy what you love and you will always be paid back. Antiques are a fantastic green item.       We do our best to answer “All” questions asked of us. I will do my best to get back to you within 24 hours.
