First of all Thank You so very much for taking the time to stop by and browse the items in my little corner of Etsy. Secondly, I have been noticing that the Etsy Shipping Calculator has been overcharging for shipping (I have had to give refunds on just about every purchase since the beginning of the year). Please know that although I do charge a small handling fee for shipping supplies, I am not trying to make money on shipping costs. I WILL REFUND any overage on shipping costs over $1. I have had issues since the beginning of the year when USPS changed the shipping rates and have not been able to figure out why the calculator has been overcharging so much. So please do not let the shipping costs scare you into not purchasing from my shoppe and if you have questions at all about the shipping quoted by Etsy, please ask. I cannot see what you are seeing as your shipping costs, but if you want an accurate quote, do not hesitate to message me with your zip code and I will be more than happy to give you an accurate shipping quote. Thank You so much for stopping by! Have a Most Deslightful Day!…Jewel ;o)
I personally think this Vintage Silver Shelton Ware of NY Upcycle turned out Gorgeous. This is not one of those flimsy trays, this is a nice heavy and sturdy tray. I first primed and shellacked it for longevity and use. I then gave it several coats of White Chalk Paint and then sealed it several times. Next I hand stamped onto tissue paper the Toile Roses and French Botany text. with Black Licorice Archival Ink. Next I decoupaged it carefully onto the tray. Not going to lie, it was not easy being such large pieces but I got it done and I think it came out nicely. I next did several layers of poly so that you can use it as a tray and not be worried about ruining it. Now I wouldn’t soak it in water, but cleaning it shouldn’t be hard at all. The back I left silver, I also left the original Shelton Ware NY sticker. There are a few scratches on the back that no matter how many pics I took of I just couldn’t really capture. You can sort of see them in the last pic, but it was the best pic that showed them, you just have to enlarge the photo and you can sort of see them in the middle. They are not deep scratches, just surface, but I always want to disclose anything wrong. This did take quite a while to do, but in the end it was sooooo worth it. I think it is Stunning!
**Note- If you would like I can make this into a wall hanger for you for no charge, but will add to the shipping time as I will have to wait for the industrial strength glue to cure before shipping. For an additional fee I can add either gold or silver cut glass knobs (as seen on some of my other creations/listings) to the bottom to make it a riser ($15). I also have the smaller antique bronze pumpkin knobs (again as seen on my other creations/listings) that I can put on the bottom ($8), or I even have two different sizes of wood knobs (sm $10, lg $15) that I can paint or stain to put on the bottom. I also have a wide based heavy metal short candlestick ($20) that I could leave as is, it’s gold, or paint to match that I can also add to the bottom to turn it into a pedestal. I wasn’t sure how you would want to use this so instead of making the choice for you I decided to let you pick. Again, the first choice of turning it into a wall hanging is free, just adds additional shipping time. All other choices are for an additional fee based on what you would like done to it. Or you can just leave it how it is and use it as a tray, the choice is yours. Just meassage me if you are interested and I can send pics or discuss with you the options.
If you have any questions at all, please feel free to ask. I’m always honest and open as I want you to be 100% happy with your purchase.
This Gorgeous OOAK French Roses Toile Tray is approx. 3/4″T x 15 1/4″D.
