Title: Need help on this vase. Please?
Post by: drododdsnends on May 26, 2011, 12:12:25 am
Does anyone know the value, history, origin, age, anything at all on this vase? Came across it and I am interested in it. Thanks for any help in advance guys!!(http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/249796_547224392899_212801470_31528570_7162749_n.jpg[/url])

Hi,
Is it still in the shop? If not, a photo of the underside would help, especially of any backstamp. If you can't photograph the underside then a detailed description of any stamp might help.

unfortunately there wasnt anything at all on the bottom, just flat no imprints. Thats what is confusing me so much, and driving me crazy!

i didnt purchase it because I didnt really know what i was getting, so I figured I would snap a picture, if I heard any great news i would see if it was still there in the morning. Thanks again for help!

Welcome drod !  I think you are looking at a vase version of some of my eggs........which I believe were just mass produced for export.  I'll try to hunt up some pics for you to compare. I've picked them up over a period of years for their looks doubting I have anything of $$ value.  ;)

Either unmarked, Made in China or just a Chinese symbol.......came across all of them quite reasonable.

thanks for all the help guys! I think I am going to run by and get it tomorrow, if it is still there that is. It was $19, I just think its unique and was going to see if it had any value to it.

It certainly is a big lump, and for $19 you can't go wrong, especially as you like it! If it is still there and you buy it, post a few more pics. Good luck

Could be wrong...but the quality of handles doesn't look $$$ or old.  A look-see at the marking will help you know!

Best of luck!
