Title: Need info and suggested value on these vases please.
Post by: nanoman on November 17, 2009, 08:20:26 AM

Can anyone tell me anything about these 2 vases?
There is '139' imprinted on the bottom as well as what looks like an 'I' or a '1'
Any info is greatly appreciated.

This is the best view of the markings that i could get, they are very faint. laying down would not make it any easier to read.

    The Numbers on the bottom are pattern or item numbers.  Without maker marks one will have a extreamly hard time to make out date or manufacter of the items.  They are wonderful looking vases and would easy fetch $25.00 a piece without marks, as long as no damage is present.  As for date and orgins it would just be a guess.  Looks very french Victorian in style, however this style has been repeated over and over through the years.  Sorry without marks not much can be concluded.

Looks like style popular in the 50's - more of a modernized old fashioned look with all the extra gold paint.
