Will you be putting it on the market? 

[norman warbreck]

i will live with it for awhile....to get the feel of it and want to visit some shops which hold stocks so that i can see the difference...before i sell it

I didn't realise you were a dealer Norman.  Where do you sell glass, such as this lovely Galle vase?   

[norman warbreck]

hi Max
i am a dealer and my website is antiques-international.ch

Did the expert give you any idea of value, apart from more than 20 SF? 

[norman warbreck]

yes he did....somewhere in the thousands he estimates....in no hurry to sell right now...i want to live with it for a few more weeks...as i am still learning about glass....my speciallity is porcelain and pottery.
