This is a listing for ceramics with flaws in the decal that occurred in the kiln. The inter gritty of the ceramic is no way effected. These are supplied in plain packaging and we wouldn’t advise using as gifts . The price reflects the number of flaws . Nitty gritty : dishwasher safe  handmade in Ireland  Fine bone china    SHIPPING :  Flat rate shipping to Ireland & NI. Shipping to UK is best in bulk. Unfortunately it’s cost prohibitive to ship ceramics outside these zones .
