Is it Gray-Stan? Help please
« on: June 23, 2013, 10:18:59 AM »
Hi all,
I've come across this vase listed as Gray-Stan and signed BUT the question is... Is it genuine?

What no suggestions? How very strange that this thread has no comments!

Not really, many people will not comment on a live auction.

Personally, I have no idea, I don't get to see and handle much Gray-Stan.

the vase is listed as Graystan - if you bid and win it and it turns out not to be Graystan then you return it for a full refund surely?

While searching I've found this very informative site, the bowl shown is rather similar to the vase listed.
