O tempora, o mores...

Ivo looks back to the happy days of a standard $100 valuation; today a seller (from the Netherlands) has a Barolac seahorse vase on Ebay for a buy it now price of £50000 GBP.  Or you can start the bidding at £5000.  

It seems to be in good condition, mind.

Mosquito:
Yes, I spotted that too! It seems to be post-war production (mould quality isn't the best, though it is better than the recent Libs version) and in the real world would likely struggle to make £50.00. Most I've seen an opalescent example make was £250 - having said that, I wouldn't part with my pair of black and gilt examples for anything less than four figures...

item no. is 120691518676 if anyone wants a laugh. Note too that they're also selling a Barolac mermaid bowl with a slightly more realistic start price of £300, or a BIN for £500. Strange as, in my experience, the mermaid bowl is harder to find than the seahorse handled vase.

Having looked through completed listings for Barolac I was shocked at how little this gorgeous early blue opalescent example went for, item. 270701998270. Had I been watching it, I'd have bid a lot more than that  >:(

Versacrum:
Alas with some regret have to report the price on the seahorse vase has been revised downwards to £150 buy it now. 
Whatever happened to chutzpah?
