Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:322549 |
Old Glass Vase Recent estate find. Measures approximately 4” tall. Weighs eight ounces. Smith Bros. mark on the underside.There are no chips and no cracks.The vase has a truly evident amount of darkening and discoloration throughout. Soiled with blackening. Kind of a blotchy ugly discoloration to the underside. Several discolored marks and rubs. The ninth photo shows a 5/8” dark line that I think is actually original paint, a whoopsie of sort. You can also see a maker related strea...k in this photo that is difficult to follow, but I think it goes around at least a third of the vase. The tenth photo shows a scratch and more of the same streak. The eleventh photo shows evident loss and fading of the paint.All of the beads along the top edge have blackening, superficial roughness and that sort of evident rubbing wear including a small flake to one bead that I tried to show in the last photo (top left image). The last photo also shows a 1/2” area of distracting discolored marks to the body of the vase (bottom left image), evident gold loss to the top edge (top right image), and a small 2mm surface flake to the underside edge that is part of the table wear (bottom right image).The vase has lots of wear from age, use, handling and poor storage, but nothing too terribly concerning (no chips, no cracks). Affordable, cute and looking for a new home.All is well represented in the provided photos, so please look to them to best judge what you are bidding on.I can almost always combine on shipping, so please do take the time to review my other listings.
