  What exactly do you mean by; "it has age, you can just tell"?
Has it got a great deal of age-related wear to the base?

I'm afraid it looks very, very new to me - I can "just tell"!

However, 5 years might be ages and ages to you, while I often think in evolutionary terms - so that a few thousand years isn't really very much at all!

No offence intended!

Well...i will have to bow down to your intelligence. As i mentioned, i don't really know much, but i have to thank you for your constructive criticism, and enlightenment regarding global chronology!

Sorry, that wasn't really very useful, was it?
Intelligence and common sense bear no relation to each other!
I should have concluded by saying I think this vase is of Eastern European manufacture, and was made some time within the last 10-15 years.

(I'm in my mid 50s. I can't get my head around the notion of something made in the '80s as having "age". I can just about cope with the '70s being a bit middle-aged.)
