Hi everyone, I can now report that the seller of the jug is none other than Ernie Krumbein of Passage to Antiquity. The very person who has compiled the 'List of Good Dealers' for this Group. How ironic! In light of what I have said already, and latest developments, I would like his company to be removed from the 'List of Good Dealers'. Or perhaps a new list should be compiled of "So-called good dealers with meaningless COAs". I gave Ernie a number of options: (a) give me a full refund of $500 for the jug (as per his COA); (b) I try to sell the piece on eBay and if it sells he refunds me the balance up to $500; (c) he categorically refuses to give me a refund. Ernie has chosen (c) sadly. He has also refused to tell me whether or not he believes the jug has more restoration than his COA states; and he has refused Rolf's offer to look at the jug to give a second opinion on it. All Ernie says is that because I have "altered" the jug by using a tiny bit of acetone, he will not offer me a refund. He has not asked to see a picture of the jug to see if it now looks different. And his COA does not state that the slightest test on the piece will invalidate the guarantee. I know very well that dealers do test pieces with acetone to see whether the surface is original or restored. I have done so with some pieces I have bought from other delears - dealers who deserve to be on the 'List of Good Dealers' - and on the rare occasion that the surface is not original I have obtained a full refund. So would the modifiers of the Group please accept this email as my formal request to have Passage to Antiquity removed from the "List of Good Sellers".
