    Description

    This is a lot of 6 vintage, Taiwanese budaixi or Chinese opera glove puppets.
    They are in excellent, previously-owned condition. Even though not all of their hands can be seen in the photos because of the long sleeves and the fact that their clothing's material is somewhat stiff, they are all present, as well as all of their feet. None have any breaks, cracks, or crazing in their heads, hands, or feet.
    The white paint has yellowed on some of them. There are no stains, rips, or unravelling in their clothing, although some are mildly faded from age.
    The puppet in photo 7 has paint loss on the back of his left shoe (not pictured),!and most have random spots of paint loss on their necks. The puppets in photos 4 and 6 have headdresses that can be removed, as they are not secured to their heads.
    The 2 smaller puppets are approximately 13" tall while the others are approximately 14".
    Additional shipping insurance is included. I am sorry; I will not separate the set.
    Shipping quote is for lower 48 states.
    I’ll ship to Hawaii and Alaska for an additional fee.
    Also, when I mark an item as shipped, it's actually in the mail, and on its way to you, not just that the mailing label was printed.
    In addition. If there is a best offer option on this listing, if you submit an offer, and I do not accept it, I will not usually submit a counteroffer. I'm not trying to be rude or say that I am not interested in selling it, but it is just that if I submit a counter offer, it ties up the listing during the time the counteroffer is valid, and I cannot make additions or changes to the listing as I think of something or if I wish to add something or change something. So if I decline your offer, and you are so inclined, you could submit another offer. Thank you for understanding.
    I don't enjoy saying this, but due to a few bad apples almost spoiling eBay for all of us, a seller must protect themselves as well--especially on the higher-dollar items, so the item's information is logged, and the unit is "mapped" (interior / exterior) with detailed pictures, in the event a return is made with a different unit, or a part is changed or removed. Again, please accept my apologies for this statement. It's only directed toward "the 1%".
