Hi , If I see one , Should I bid more than 45.00 ? and if so what is it worth please.
Regards, Patrick.
These are almsot impossible to value, mainly because unlike, for example, the more common Lalique patterns, there's no auction record to consult. These vases have almost invariably been misattributed in the past and I've sometimes seen them sell for very little.
Having said that, they are certainly very stylish and have the period look. If I had more room, I'd be buying them up myself now. Recently I've noticed a couple of ebay sellers are now correctly attributing items from this range, which I guess is all thanks to Marcus's book.
The one thing holding back the vase that started this thread is that it's a comparatively less desirable pattern, people tend to prefer vases with birds or animals rather than simple floral designs. Of course, vases with female nudes tend to be the most commercial...
