Hi Simon, welcome to the Board.

You have not provided any details! Description with dimensions and images of top, side and base are preferred.

Hi Simon,
welcome to the board! :)

The limit for an individual attached image is 125 kB (you can add up to 4 images to each post).
Almost any imaginig software should work, just change the size of the image so that the longest dimension is around 700 pixel, and save / export the file as .jpg in medium quality.

Oh, I nearly forgot.
My Grandmothers, can't decide if its new or a 1960/70's piece. The label on the base is a platsic type so probably not 50's????..
The label on the base is marked...'V A' , then under it 'verre', under that is what I think is the name of the design of the vase but all that's left is.....'...lle bouche'. There are obviously letters before the 'lle', so the vase would translate as 'something mouth'
I have drawn a complete blank.
Thanks for any help, always gratefully received.
Simon
