It was very special surprise to have my item arrive in a beautifully wrapped box with a bow and a thank you card, (attaching pics of that). Shipping it so well would have been enough, but they went the extra mile to ensure that I knew my purchase was appreciated. I knew from the picture, that I would love this unique milk glass, and it is as lovely as described. It became a nice gift I gave to myself and it was a pleasant experience to shop at RPC Gallery. Thank you so much!
