I've order items from Russia on Ebay with no problem. I think the
biggest problems in customs is the proper paper work. Plus using an
export company doesn't hurt. I've order items from HK Postal with a
tracking number and sometimes they sit for a week in Alaska clearing
our customs. I think there is less a problem with customs if sent by
sea than by air.

The prices are not worth it with the design. I agree my Turkish
glasses
are simple and nicer. Thanks Alex for warning me about Russian
customs. I was burned twice already- I want something will come
from
US. The reason, I am looking for is- I am collecting tea glasses from
different countries for my book and my own collection. Thanks Derek
for your search.

Hello Jim:

Did you buy those glasses from Ebay? Please share your experience
details. Thanks.

Ripon,

They're both awful, and the prices are insulting, IMHO. Yours -- the ones
with the waist of which Sasha spoke earlier -- serve well in place of the
usual glass pitcher. But yours have some gold design features I could do
without. I'll bet those simple Turkish glasses in that form, once found,
will cost next to nothing. Sheesh.

Still taking the cold meds, Michael? I'm not Ripon.


Yes. Sorry. Thanks. Michael

It happens.

How're you feeling? Better, I hope.



Much. Thanks. M

Plug in 'russian glass holder' into Ebay and you'll get Russian dealers
selling mostly nickel(german) silver such as:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...sPageName=WDVW

Occasionally expensive sterling silver will pop up. I use this as an
example of what I've seen:

PS: I really like this for Ebay cheap:

$286 for a single podstakannik? SHEESH!

Derek -

Solid silver with Faberge-style hot color enamel? Nobody needs that in a
lass-holder, but this is not at all expensive.

Sorry gang that was the link for the expensive bronze. I can't find my
link for the expensive sterling silver. You get the idea mostly cheap
nickel silver on Ebay with the occasional expensive sterling silver but
still cheaper than the websites.

I would love to find a large tea cup, approx. 22 oz. that
is designed with it's own defusor for leaf tea and also
has a lid to keep the tea warm between sips. Help?
