IF ANYONE KNOWS WHAT THIS MARK SAYS, CAN YOU LET ME KNOW?
Measures approximately 12" T x 6" at it's widest middle bulb.
Item is in excellent antique condition. It does have a ding, (which is shown in the last picture).
The piece has great feel to it, is heavy and dense, and really is fantastic.
It is kind of dirty. I was afraid to clean it, so I just wiped it off
I am not an Expert, but there is another one on Ebay that is being sold from an Antique Store, so I am
using their advise on the age of this Great Bronze Vase. This one is Signed and theirs is not and
theirs is twice as much!
Part of my Mom's Beautiful Things that she surrounded herself with.
