Unmarked Amber 10inch Vase Forest Theme ? ID = Barolac
« on: March 24, 2017, 03:13:21 AM »
I have this vase that has been in my family for years and I am trying to figure out if it has any value and what it is. I found one that looks the same that sold at auction for 800.00 here https://new.liveauctioneers.com/item/22936634_10-unmarked-barolac-czech-solid-amber-art-glass-vase#&gid=1&pid=2

Is this the same as what I have and is it really worth 800 dollars?

Thanks in advance for any help.

It looks the same to me (but I'm not always the best at comparisons) but something is only worth what someone is prepared to pay on the day. I don't know whether the attribution is correct either

I don't know that much about this type of glass but it looks similar to me.

With the two other examples shown, and one of those being within a catalogue, I am happy to add a Barolac ID on this and move it to the "Bohemian & Czech..." folder.
