Title: Pair green glass vases.
Post by: k3ny0n on September 26, 2013, 07:14:20 AM: Hi, My Nanna has a pair of green glass vases with what looks like a lilly on the front. She can trace them back to 100+ years, they were given to my Nanna's Grandmother as a wedding present in 1893.
We know nothing of these 2 pieces and would love some advice as to how to get some more information from them.

Look forward to hearing, I have attached a not so good picture.

Post by: k3ny0n on September 28, 2013, 01:27:36 AM: Yes, they are certainly not the same, so hand painted. Looking at them again it does look like a white enamel.

I guess we are still waiting for Wendy. ;D
