For shipping info, click on Shipping "See Details" link above. It shows where I ship, what your choices are, and cost of shipping. I charge ONLY what I am charged for shipping or less.

DESCRIPTION: Pictures are of the actual item you will receive. OA3C09 This is a Vintage Signed Primitive Pit Fired Pottery made by Joy Ramirez as the Artisan. Statement by Joy Ramirez: Each pot or bowl is made in the authentic traditional method used by Native Americans for generations. Each one is an original, either coil formed or pinched by hand. It is then polished with a special stone and fired in a pit with cow or hose dung or wood ash. After firing, a protective coat of bees wax is applied and rubbed to achieve a high gloss. Every piece is a jewel for visual enjoyment. Not for use with Water.This is an exceptional specimen but has a chip on the lip at the back of the pot. It comes with the original card describing the process it was made and the use, which I just quoted above. You can see that in the pictures. See pictures for details on condition, they are part of this description. Some international (and few domestic) shipments may experience delays or stoppages because of Covid. If I offer international shipping but it tells you I cannot ship to your country, it is probably due to pandemic concerns, blocked incoming, and eCRATER policy. When leaving feedback after you receive your item(s), 5 star feedback ***** is appreciated. You will be asked to rank: * * * * * Shipping cost: Please remember that I DO NOT have control over shipping costs charged by the USPS, UPS, or FedEx. You are quoted prices according to eCRATER calculations and your input. Feel free to ask me about shipping before purchase or payment. Only in RARE cases do I charge handling cost, for difficult or complicated/intricate item packing or extreme material costs. FedEx usually charges $8 for delivery to homes. Please do not reduce my * * * * * feedback for questions about shipping cost. * * * * * Shipping speed: I usually ship same day (if paid by Noon, Pacific Time) or next day (if paid after mail is picked up), except Sundays and Holidays if shipper offices are closed. ANY DELAYS are not under my control. If you must penalize anyone, please penalize the shipper, not me. Especially during Covid issues, some shipping is very delayed. Please consider this before leaving less than 5 star * * * * * feedback. * * * * * Communication: I usually try to inform you when something is shipped, but many people do not wish to be contacted or do not check messages.

I will always answer your inquiries as fast as possible to assure great communication.

Your satisfaction is paramount to my small business. Always contact me with any issues or questions before, during, or after our transaction. Your smile is my goal. If you select Domestic USPS Ground, I may substitute FedEx Ground at my discretion. Also, I usually offer FedEx Smart Post because it is cheaper (delivery is usually from 2 to 8 days), but may send it Fed Ex Ground Instead (usually faster delivery). This way you save money on their standard service. I usually ship same or next day Except for Holidays. If you order and PAY by 10 AM Monday through Saturday, I can usually send it the same day. Otherwise, it is normally shipped the next postal day (excludes Sundays and Postal Holidays) Yes, I can COMBINE shipping. If you buy more than one item, or multiple items, from my store, I can send you an invoice before you pay that could adjust shipping to combine costs for a savings. Use the link above or departments on the left to browse my selection just before paying and add items to your cart before requesting an invoice. Add all to your cart and contact me. I reserve the right to refuse combined shipping if it results in higher shipping costs than shipping separately. Any item(s) that require a box larger than 12" x 12" or one dimension over 16? may increase my shipping costs. Therefore it may be cheaper to ship two smaller boxes than one larger one.

YOU are responsible to be sure your country allows this item to be shipped to you. If it gets returned because you failed to do this, you are responsible for shipping cost. Please note that I now offer discounted shipping outside the US through the US Postal Service via Post Exprés. This shipping includes tracking and should arrive in 1 to 3 weeks. Insurance is provided by a third party insurer. If this listing has international shipping available, the amount you are charged by eCRATER may be more than this discounted international shipping. If you want this discounted shipping, INDICATE IN NOTES ON YOUR PAYMENT OR CONTACT ME DIRECTLY to let me know this shipping method is acceptable to you. If it is cheaper, you can choose either 1) I invoice you with the new shipping, 2) I credit back part of your shipping once delivered, or 3) I give you a higher credit for a future purchase in my store.

CLICK HERE to Visit my eCRATER Store: Jerry's Attic Standard Terms and Policies For Your Protection: PAYMENTS: I don't want you to have problems with eCRATER, so please note that eCRATER policy requires that items be paid within 2 days of the sale. Any delay may result in an unpaid item claim being opened automatically after that point in time. The only exception is if you are purchasing multiple items from me and must wait for the other item(s) to close. Contact me immediately before or at the close of the first item to arrange combined or reduced shipping for multiple items. I do NOT consent to delayed payment unless it is due to an error by me. You will receive a notice of sale, then an invoice, then an unpaid item claim will be automatically opened. RETURNS AND REFUNDS: I accept returns for any reason. I want you to be 100% satisfied with your purchase! I DOCUMENT ALL SHIPMENTS to avoid claims and fraud. Because I accept your returns, I do NOT issue ?partial refunds? for items, regardless of cost or value. If it is an item you are not completely satisfied with, there is no reason you would want to keep it, right? All items are to be returned if you are not satisfied, and I will help you through the process. If the item is returned used, altered, or damaged, I will issue only a partial refund (per eCRATER rules) once I have received and inspected it. If it is returned used, I reserve the option to report the transaction to eCRATER, which frowns upon that practice and enforces with negative marks and suspensions on buyers that abuse these policies. Items must be returned within 30 days (or less if stated in each individual listing?s policies ? check for changes on my listing?s policy below price and shipping info). It must be in the same condition as when sent (if damaged during shipping, a claim must be started with the shipper/insurer), tags attached if shipped with tags, any product packaging it came in, and any bonus or freebie that was included with your purchase. Actual shipping cost will be deducted from the refund, unless it?s my mistake. Your returned item will be checked against documented pictures at time of shipping. I have a proven track record of accurate listing descriptions and pictures, as well as timely shipping! If you must return your purchase, go to Purchase History>Select Return This Item>Select Reason to see your refund amount>Let eCRATER print your Return Shipping Label (this comes with auto tracking) or send me tracking info>Pack it carefully, include any paperwork or packaging>Attach shipping label>Send back within 5 days of start of refund (per eCRATER rules)>Take to post office or hand to your carrier. Once I receive your item back, you qualify for 10% off the purchase of one of my other items. SALES TAX: Don?t forget that as with all eCRATER sellers, sales tax may be added to your final invoice by eCRATER on behalf of your state. This is from government requirements and eCRATER policies, not seller profit. This tax is collected by eCRATER and paid to the states that require collection. Taxes may be collected on things you may normally not pay taxes on due to eCRATER?s practic
