Petrus Regout Maastricht Made in Holland ABBEY Pattern Soup Bowl #1

Description

Petrus Regout & Co. Maastricht
Made in Holland
ABBEY Blue Pattern - Flow Blue
Soup Bowl #1
This beautiful flow blue pattern is called ABBEY Blue and it is made by the Petrus Regout Company.  The mark was used approximately 1929-1931 and the factory closed in 1931 so that helps to date it.  We have three of these soup bowls and they will be listed separately so the condition can be described accurately. The numbers will stay with the items through shipping so you are assured of receiving the item you purchased.  We have three at the time this listing was created and if interested in more, check our store for current availability.  We do combine shipping at actual cost our door to yours and any overage paid at checkout is refunded when the shipping label is printed.
This is bowl #1.  The pattern consists of chruches and scroll work in a nice dark blue on white.  The back is well marked with the lion mark and pattern name in dark blue.  It also has indented marks including an F, an NV and 8½ as well as a black D.  Note that the 8½ is presumably the size of the bowl but this one measures 9 1/8 inches in diameter and is 1 5/8 inches deep.  There are some use marks in the bottom and on the rim but they are all light and hard to see.  There are stilt marks on the front as is common with these older wares.
PLEASE NOTE:  PAYPAL IS THE ONLY PAYMENT METHOD WE ACCEPT
Check out our store and other auctions for more great items.  Most of our store items will have the BEST OFFER option.  Small dollar items are included in case you are combining more than one item.  On single items below value, we will not be able to do much if anything to reduce the price.  Please, if you have questions, ask them BEFORE you make your offer and not in the message part of the offer!  All offers are responded to as quickly as possible.  When making an offer, take a look at all our listings as we can deal better on selling more than one item together.
NOTE
:  With the new shipping rates, be sure to read all the information on shipping below so you will know our policies about combining shipping.  We work hard at trying to keep shipping as low as possible. Insurance will be provided on all breakable items and most other items.  We also will continue to provide free delivery confirmation.
THE FINE PRINT:
We strive very hard to list quality antiques and collectibles on our eBay listings.  We also strive to give you the best description and pictures we can so you can make informed purchases.  Please read the descriptions and look at all the pictures.  Any known flaws, however minor, will be pointed out.  We want our customers to be happy and you can tell by our feedback that we work hard at that job.  We pack well and all items come from a smoke free home.  Expect all items to be clean unless noted in the description for some reason.
WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER THE SALE
You will receive an invoice as soon as possible after the listing closes giving you all the information you need to make a payment.  Effective October 20, 2008, we accept ONLY PAYPAL as our method of payment.  We ship the best method available and in some cases will offer a choice.  We ship MOST items by Priority Mail.  Textiles may ship First Class if the weight is under 13 oz.  If you buy more than one piece and the weight goes over 13 oz, priority mail is used.  Your invoice will tell you what methods of shipping available.  Your item will be packed and shipped with care and we will try to keep the cost as low as possible without jeopardizing your item’s safety.  Insurance is included in the shipping price and delivery confirmation is provided free of charge.
LARGE ITEMS AND COMBINED SHIPPING:
The newest postage regulations are going to make shipping large items and combining items challenging but we are going to try to streamline it for our customers.  Any package over 1 cubic foot may be subject to higher postage depending on the zone to which they are shipped and the size.  We live in Zone 4 and if we are shipping to Zone 4, this is not much of an issue.   We will use available tools from eBay and USPS to figure this on each invoice.  Our intent is to charge actual shipping so if the estimated amount is more than the actual charge when the item is shipped, a refund will be issued to the buyer.
We will combine successful auctions for shipping purposes unless the items are too numerous or large to put in one box safely.  Again, larger boxes can cause shipping to go higher and there may be times when it is cheaper to ship multiple large items in their own box rather than trying to combine them in one large box.  We will use the option most beneficial to the customer.
If you are buying one item, the postage should be figured and entered so you do not have to wait for our invoice if you prefer to pay for it quickly.  If you need items combined, you should wait for our invoice which will have shipping figured at the most economical level.  Occasionally, someone will just pay all the shipping costs without asking for a combined amount.  If you choose to do that, we will refund any overage that has been paid by a Paypal refund.
Also note
that textiles may be shipped in padded envelopes but in some cases, based on weight and thickness, that envelope may be treated by the post office as a package and therefore the postage will be more expensive because it does not meet the requirements for a flat envelope.  Again, we will try to pack it the most economical way for the buyer but we have no control over USPS rules or rates.
SORRY BUT WE NO LONGER DO INTERNATIONAL TRANSACTIONS.
