De Carlini Italy Italian Blown Glass Raggedy Ann Andy Christmas Ornaments Vtg

Description: Hi, First pic is an optical illusion of sorts. The ornaments are the same size as is shown in the other photos. I have too many ornaments so thinning my collection while at the same time buying more. Hoarding or collecting? Is there a difference? I love these ornaments. Saw this type for the first time at the Radko Booth at the South Bend Collectible Show in the late 1990's. This description will apply to many of my listings. Please read. The pictures are of exactly what will ship. The descriptions are tags for listing purposes only. As are the titles. Many of the ornaments are vintage. I believe the Italians are De Carlini. I only know of Laved as another Italian figural ornament maker. Many of the ornament caps say Italy. Some do not. I'm pretty confident they are. As they don't come with boxes or tags I can't know for sure. Others I will be listing are Radko, Old World Christmas, Laved, Breen , Shiny Brite, and even Hallmark Keepsake Glass Christmas Ornaments. The pictures are the condition. Wear and age are to be expected on older used ornaments. Anything I consider out of the ordinary I will mention under condition above. Colors can fade. Minor scratching to be expected. I will not sell a broken ornament. From where I got them over the years I have reason to believe they are all vintage. As many I bought myself in stores are now considered vintage as it's been over 20 to 25 years for many of them. Hard to think they are. I'm getting old. For De Carlini or Italian figural ornaments, Radko, Breen or other collectible and fragile glass Christmas ornaments I double box them for safety in shipping. I use a small sturdy box with peanuts and bubble wrap for the ornament and then place it in a larger sturdy box for shipping also with packing peanuts to protect it. It might cost a little more but it's best to ensure it arrives safely. Distance from Illinois matters the most for shipping costs. If close you can drive over and save. Far Western suburb of Chicago. I use either USPS Priority Mail, USPS Ground Advantage, FedEx or UPS. You can choose how to pay but I reserve the right to choose whatever shipping service is more convenient for me at the time. All are interchangeable for speed. I can combine shipping. Please wait for an invoice if possible. Sometimes people buy more than one and pay for more than one shipping charge and I can refund the difference. I ask for one day handling. Sometimes things can go same day if ordered before the mailperson comes or I make a trip out to ship. After I ship it the time it takes to arrive is out of my control. Please consider I'm not the shipping company. Sold as is. What you see is what will ship. Sorry no returns. Shipping is too expensive both ways. I do offer Best Offer but I don't always respond to an offer. If so it's because it was so low it wasn't worthy of a response or I simply am busy and didn't have time to respond. Yes, I do have a life beyond this hobby. I offer it only because even when I don't people still message me asking. Also it's best offer. Not offers. Sorry for the long description. It's for that one out of 10000 that don't understand how Ebay works. I've had thousands of satisfied customers over the years. I'm a collector too so I want to manage expectations. Merry Xmas!
