  • Brand: L.E. Smith
  • Condition: These sherbets are in excellent condition for their age with no chips or cracks in three of them and a small chip out of the top rim by the seam line in one of them. One also has some grains of sand that did not melt that pooled inside the sherbet. Something puzzles me, however. None of these are the same exact height but range from 3 1/16,1/8, 3/16 and 1/4 inches high. Diameters are different too. Also, although they are all made from a three piece mold, when you look at the seam lines on the stems of the sherbets, two are straight and two twist, with one twisting more than the other so much so as to pull the glass out of shape. That leads me to believe that the twists may have happened during the un-molding process where the glass was still a bit too hot and more pliable. Perhaps the glass stuck in the mold and was twisted in the effort to get it out. Both the shortest and the highest sherbets have twisted stems. Be sure and check the photos as they are part of the description.

    These sherbets are in excellent condition for their age with no chips or cracks in three of them and a small chip out of the top rim by the seam line in one of them.  One also has some grains of sand that did not melt that pooled in the bowl of the sherbet.  Something puzzles me, however.  None of these are the same exact height but range from 3 1/16,1/8, 3/16 and 1/4 inches high.  The diameters are all different too.  Also, although they are all made from a three piece mold, when you look at the seam lines on the stems of the sherbets, two are straight and two twist, with one twisting more than the other so much so as to pull the glass out of shape.  That leads me to believe that the twists may have happened during the un-molding process where the glass was still a bit too hot and more pliable.  Perhaps the glass stuck in the mold and was twisted in the effort to get it out.  Both the shortest and the highest sherbets have twisted stems.  Be sure and check the photos as they are an integral part of the description and do a much better job of showing condition issues than what I can explain through the use of the written word.   Use the magnification tool and feel free to ask questions.

    Disclaimer:
    Photographs with a ruler or the metal tape measures are there to show scale only and usually will not show exact
    measurements
    due to
    the fact that the measurements on some wooden rulers start 1/16" into the wood, and
    the ruler,
    and even with a metal ruler or tape measure the item being different
    lengths
    away
    from the camera lens than the ruler or tape measure,
    even if it is only a fraction of an inch will also create a perspective issue.  Please always go by my stated measurements rather
    than guessing at the exact sized based on the photos.
    Note:
    Because of the way computers and cell phones are set to interpret colors that show on their monitors, and because of people's perceptions of color descriptions,  the colors you see on your screen may not be exactly the colors you will get but might appear a bit darker or lighter, or a shade or two different.  I always do
    my best to show colors as close to reality as I can get them, but keep that in mind when you make your orders as, although I will accept returns for any reason, I WILL NOT accept a small difference in color shades as a valid rea
    son for a 'not as described' claim so that you can save on shipping.  Of course, if I say that something is black and it turns out to be red when you get it, then
    obviously the fault is mine and the 'not as described' claim will be accepted
    If you need to have a perfect match and can send a fabric swatch or paint chip, or something else that you have that shows the exact color that you need, I
    will be happy to hold the item you are thinking of purchasing so that you can send me your swatch or whatever for me to use to check for that match.  I can photograph
    the item next to the color sample that you send and you can make your final decision as to whether you want to purchase from that.
    Shipping:
    I purchase postage online when I package the item.  The tracking number shows when that postage was purchased and does not start when I actually take the item to the post office to be shipped.  Note, I show a 4 business day handling period and although I may get your item packaged and ready to ship on the first or second day, It may take all of those four days for me to get your item to the post office to actually ship it.  Please don't be concerned if you check your tracking number and find out that the item has not yet been shipped if it is within my four-day shipping window.   If you do need your item in a hurry for a birthday or special occasion, just let me know and I will be happy to do my best for you.
