Here is an example of milk glass.

This hand painted COMPLETE antique vanity set includes 2 perfume bottles with stoppers, 4 different shaped vanity boxes with lids, and two different sized oval trays.

I consider this set to be in excellent over all glass condition, as well as, to have the paint in excellent over all condition. The details of the condition of each piece is detailed below and in the pictures. Do not be afraid to use the zoom in the pictures; I do not think you will be disappointed. As they say, it is definitely great “eye candy”.

I have had this set for many, many years. I bought it in Massachusetts. I lived in a small town (Wareham) and would occasionally go to New Bedford (ah! The big city) to shop at their wonderful antique shops. This was obtained about 20 years ago in a small antique shop there. I loved it so much that it moved with me to Virginia, where we retired to 6 years ago. I am not getting any younger and simply want this to go to someone else that might appreciate it as much as I have. It is a piece of history worth preserving.

Shared Postage. I am a small seller and cannot offer "free shipping", so I am sharing the postage on this item with you. I have done this by manipulating the "calculated shipping" so that it will show you a lesser amount than the actual shipping; I will be paying the remainder.

Notes:
1. Please allow an extra day for me to ship these items as packing time will be considerable and important. (I do not prepack any of my shipments, as I like to inspect them and take pictures before they go off to their new homes.) I pack quite well and have been told that I pack as if my items are going to spend a couple of days in a Category 5 Hurricane. I have also been told that I do not pack for war, but rather a nuclear blast. So rest assure, these will be very carefully packaged. I am sending you a piece of history.
2. This package (or packages) will be insured fully (At my expense, as it should be since insurance benefits the seller).
3. You will have to sign for the delivery of this set (Also at my expense and for the same reason).

I ship using USPS or UPS - whichever is QUICK and least expensive.

- All purchases made right here on AtMemoryLane.shop, will receive a 4.4% refund on your purchased item.

    Information retained by AtMemoryLane includes the information that is part of an electronic sale. This sale could be in the Etsy marketplace at my shop, called AtMemoryLane, or it could be in my Etsy pattern shop, also called AtMemoryLane. The information that is included is information that has been provided by the buyer – which is their name and address. Additionally, any messages sent to the seller via the Etsy conversation system will also be retained on the Etsy site. None of this information is used for any type of marketing, spamming, or solicitation on my part. (And I will not be sending you a Christmas card either.) The information is and was used exclusively for your transaction. The financial information (credit card info) is not provided to the sellers on Etsy so there is nothing to worry about there. Contact information (your name and address) is used exclusively to contact you regarding the items you purchased (if need be), to fulfill your order, and if necessary for legal reasons (for instance for tax purposes). We, Etsy sellers, do not have access to your billing address if it is different from your mailing address. As noted above, Etsy is the only one that even has access to that information; sellers on Etsy do not.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How long does it normally take you to ship an item?

    All orders received by 8:00 PM Eastern Time are processed (mailed) the next day. I usually drop off packages at the post office in the morning six days a week; I normally drop off packages to the UPS drop off point in the afternoon five days a week.
    - Etsy does not have a system where we can list UPS as an alternative. I ship via USPS or UPS, whichever is least expensive and quickest. I refund shipping overages paid by you.

    What do you do if the shipping calculator has over estimated or under estimated the shipping charges?

    If the shipping calculation is over by more than 50 cents, I will reimburse you. Yup, I will reimburse you 50 cents.

    If the shipping calculator is under by any amount, you will not know about it; that is, I will not request that you make any further payment because of an error of mine, the calculator, or the system.

    If I contact you, when can I expect a reply? What are your normal working hours?

    My normal hours seven days a week are 1:00 - 9:00 PM. I answer questions within two hours during this time.
    On my off hours, I will normally return your question as soon as I open up for the day.

    I do not operate with any smart devices - only dumb ones, as they simply do not work in dead zones, so I periodically throughout my day check the old desktop.

    Are there any other requirements to return an item? For what reasons do you allow returns?

    1. You, the buyer, shall ensure the items are received by me in the SAME condition in which you received it. You are not required to use the original packaging and box. Feel free to use your own if you so desire
    2. In addition, please provide me, via a convo, the tracking number within one eight calendar days of receiving the item.


    Returns can be made for any reason whatsoever. You will receive the original cost of the item and the original shipping. I do not charge a bogus restocking fee. Be aware that the cost to return the item (shipping) will not be reimbursed to you.

    Do I, the buyer, pay for shipping insurance?

    As you may or may not be aware, shipping insurance benefits the seller. I normally pay for the insurance, if any. The only time, you (the buyer) would pay for the insurance is if YOU request it.

    I do not normally buy additional insurance as I tend to pack for a nuclear blast...or, at least, for war.

    Do you accept offers?

    NO, I am sorry. I do not.

    I do, however, encourage you to shop around. In many of my listings, I leave a reference at the bottom of the description to assist you in your research. This way, you will be able to compare apples with apples.

    What is the difference between purchasing at your etsy store, AtMemoryLane.store and purchasing at your stand alone shop, AtMemoryLane.shop?

    --- I usually have a larger selection of items in my stand alone shop - AtMemoryLane.shop.

    ---In addition, all purchases made AtMemoryLane.shop, will receive a 4.4% refund on your purchased item.

    --- You also receive this 4.4% refund on any sale items in the AtMemoryLane.shop.

    ---Sometimes, I have items on sale in the stand alone shop (AtMemoryLane.shop) that I do not have in the etsy marketplace shop.

    --- You can get to AtMemoryLane.shop via any browser.

    If I favorite an item will I receive a discount?

    No. There is no need for me to operate my shop like that. My items are already priced fairly.

    If I place one of your items in my cart will I receive a discount?

    No. Sorry, but I do not inflate my prices to begin with so there is no need to discount them.
