<p>[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 4472738, member: 308"]Ii can be shipped safely. Personally I would double-box it. I take the pot and wrap it in a layer of tissue paper and then a layer of butcher paper. Then use one or two layers of bubble paper. Then place the wrapped pot in the first box. That box should be inserted into a second box and cushioned by newspapers on all four sides plus top and bottom. I'd use a 12 x 12 x 12 box for the outer box. </p><p><br /></p><p>What I would be more concerned about, though, is whether this item would sell for enough to be worth the trouble. While it's in an interesting piece the missing top is a real problem. I think komokwa is optimistic at $35. Here in Indiana I doubt I'd get more than $10 and the particular city I live in is known for its crows (lucky us!). It could pass for a pitcher on a high shelf I suppose. You could try it on Facebook Marketplace but there's a good chance it will sit for a bit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
