The listing, VINTAGE GOLDCASTLE TEA CUP has ended.
This vintage tea cup is blue on the outside with a gold rim and handle. The inside is white.
The cup measures 3" tall and 3 1/4" in dia.
The bottom is marked in red and reads" GOLDCASTLE, MADE IN JAPAN". ( Mid. 20th century, 1950-1960).
Has a Japanesse castle in the middle of these words.
There is light wear to the gold handle and a little fading to the blue paint by the handle.
There are no chips or cracks that I can see.

I use USPS to ship. I try to keep the cost down by finding a box that fits the item.
Since these boxes are not the USPS boxes the shipping, it seems is more.
I always double bubble wrap the items, I use tissue paper and a gold sticker after the item has been bubble wrapped.
I go to http://www.usps.com/ and use the "calculate postage".
That is how I get the postage amount, if I am not sending the item in a USPS box.
I do not put items in a padded envelope and just send them.
If you think the postage is too high then please DO NOT BID.
With jewelry I use the" PRIORITY MAIL" medium flat envelope.
Which is a flat $5.60.
If you are useing PayPal it will be $ 0.25 more added to the shipping cost because they take out their fees.
Which leaves me short and I have to add what they have taken out.
If you are sending a money order you need not add the extra $0.25.
