Vintage Hand Painted, LARGE Tin Tea Kettle Country Scene, teapot

Description

Vintage Hand Painted Tin Tea Pot Kettle Country Scene. Excellent condition--interior of tea kettle was never used (see photo). Artist who painted this painted right over a couple of slight indentions / dents. I tried to photograph these areas, but it didn't show the areas. Painted on both sides.  This is a LARGE tea kettle, nearly twice the size of some painted tea kettles I have seen and that's why the price is slightly higher. At craft shows, such an items would easily sell for -50.
This would make an amazing addition to someone's collection or be a great display piece.

checking out so I can apply shipping discount to the invoice.
SHIPPING NOTE
: most of my items (unless books or weighing less than 6 ounces) are set up to do calculated shipping. This means, based on the weight AND size of the item, plus your unique zip code, eBay will come up with and show your shipping fee. Be aware that anything over 12 inches gets dinged a bit on price (goes up a good bit) and every few inches, the tier increases significantly. This means you will pay a lot more for a package of the same weight if it is 21” long vs 14” long. I try to be extremely fair on shipping, unlike some eBay sellers who charge outrageous fees and pocket the difference. I had to start setting up calculated shipping because the same package traveling 300 miles away costs far less than if it goes 1,200 miles away. Buyers come from all over so I don’t know in advance where it will need to be shipped. As a result, I ate dozens of partial shipping costs (i.e. it cost me more to ship than whatever flat rate I had on my listing), ranging anywhere from to about . Enter calculated shipping to eliminate that issue!
Part of why I am telling you all this, is I have gotten several emails lately from potential buyers asking about a high shipping fee. In a couple instances, the ship fee was MORE than the item they were buying! It’s the calculated shipping, NOT what I would prefer to charge for shipping. Shipping fees have gotten pretty crazy, but there is really no way to work around that. FYI, anything 1 pound or heavier cannot go by first class, which has a 16 oz limit. That almost always means it will need to go by Priority Mail then, unless it’s books which ship via the cheaper media mail rate.
2/21:
Additional note on shipping times—
shipping length has increased significantly for ALL classes of mail. This is what happens when politicians tamper with the way the post office is run. Please do NOT leave negative feedback based on how long it took the item to arrive as I have absolutely ZERO control over that. Ditto if an item that I have carefully wrapped gets broken in shipment. Contact me about a broken issue, send me photos and we can proceed from there. If you are on a deadline for getting an item (e.g. if it’s a birthday gift), do NOT expect Priority Mail will get it there in 2 days as it has in the past. Priorities are sometimes taking 4 days to a week or more now. Media mail, which was never designed to ship fast, has gone from taking like 4 days to 2 weeks, to easily taking a week to 3-4 weeks. Mind you, I am giving you best and worst case scenarios based on how long I’m seeing packages I ship take to arrive these last 4 months or so. Most likely, your shipment will fall somewhere in between on those timelines.
