Vintage Fenton Orange Tree Punch Bowl (no base) in Marigold

Description

Ebay will send you a "reminder to pay" as soon as this auction ends.  PLEASE don't pay it.  It's only an estimate, and doesn't take into consideration the final bid, which affects insurance cost, and the item's location.  I'll send an invoice as soon as I can, and it will begin with Hello and Thanks!  So just have a little patience before you rush to send payment...thanks.
Big and beautiful, but missing the base is how you'll see this vintage Fenton Orange Tree bowl.  It measures 11" across the slightly flared top by 5 3/8" high.  There are no chips, cracks or issues to note but you will see some bubbles here and there throughout the glass, and there's an especially large on on the upper side...easily visible in my photos.  The bottom has a 1/4" foot, which would ordinarily fit inside the base.  Lots of beautiful carnival colors both inside and out, but the richer of the colors is definitely on the exterior.  This bowl has a nice, crisp mold and a three piece mold line.  Even without the base, it makes for an impressive center bowl...just gorgeous!  Please make sure to check all photos and read my entire description before bidding, and if you're interested in paying only EXACT USPS shipping charges, remember to wait for your invoice!  Good luck and thanks for looking!
Please take a minute to read how I run my auctions...
I ask that you DO NOT pay
the invoice you receive nanoseconds after the auction ends.  It's an automated request from eBay.  It
DOES NOT
include insurance, delivery confirmation or the shipping discount that applies when labels are printed on-line.  If you want to pay exact shipping costs, please wait for my invoice, which is what the USPS charges me and includes all of the above.  I'll send it ASAP after an auction ends.  FREE local pick-up is always available in my auctions.
I sell mostly antique to vintage collectibles, so bidders should keep in mind that an item might have some age imperfections. I describe my items as accurately as possible, but I’m only human, and if I miss something major, please let me know before you post negative feedback.
Please remember that your bid is a binding contract to purchase.  It is your responsibility as a bidder to thoroughly read the auction listing and look at the photos---please DON'T rely only on an item's category or title for a complete description.  I do not refund for bidder's remorse.
Shipping is through the USPS and is for exact shipping costs.  I will always combine shipping costs whenever possible.
WAIT FOR YOUR INVOICE
, which will include insurance and delivery confirmation.  If you pay before you've been invoiced, I CANNOT add insurance to your purchase unless you request me to do so.
PLEASE NOTE:  THE INSURANCE I PURCHASE FOR YOU INSURES YOUR ITEM ONLY TO THE ADDRESS ON YOUR EBAY INFORMATION.  IF YOU RE-SHIP THIS ITEM THROUGH A SECOND SHIPPING COMPANY, MY INSURANCE DOES NOT COVER ANY DAMAGE OR LOSS and I am not responsible for any loss or damage.
Even though I have a
5 business day
window for shipping, that's the worst case scenario. I always ship sooner, and if I can't ship within 5 days, I'll let you know.
My auctions will indicate if an item is up for international bids, but I will not ship any item international if it’s over 3 pounds without first hearing from the bidder to make sure they're willing to pay the USPS's high shipping costs.
Please be sure to leave feedback after you receive your item---it lets me know things went off without a hitch, but
IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ANY PART OF OUR TRANSACTION, PLEASE EMAIL ME SO IT CAN BE RESOLVED BEFORE YOU LEAVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK
