Title: Painted Vases
Post by: Delta Man on August 31, 2007, 10:02:05 PM

I'm looking for an estimate to the age of 2 vases. They can be viewed at these links.

The lip is applied and the bottom has pontil marks. Bubbles in glass. 5¼" tall.
Thanks for any help.
Thanks Deltab and  Max.
Revised question.

Hi Delta Man,

I think that the first vase on this page is similar to that of yours. There is a purchase price with it also. http://www.parisantiquemall.com/glassantique_collectible.htm
Hope this helps.

Delta Man, while we love seeing new glass  :D this board is really for discussion and a resource for glass information, and not for giving values on particular pieces.  A lot of people feel that it's hard to give an accurate value when there are so many variables that can make a difference to what something is 'worth'.

On the other hand, Della may be able to help.  ;)

Hi Max,

Sorry  :-[ I haven't quite learned how to be as diplomatic as you are. :hug:

Della, no, no, you're fine.  Thanks for helping here.  :-*

I just didn't want Delta Man to feel bad if no-one answered his query.  It's up to individuals if they want to help or give an estimate.   :)

I would never give an estimate, personally. A piece is worth what it is worth, only because of what people are willing to pay.
It really wasn't difficult to find a piece to compare it to. It took seconds, and I didn't even know what kind of glass it was.  :angel:

Thanks for your help. I did not intend to cause any problems. I did a search for Goofus Glass, and found similer glass.

I went back and rephrased my inquiry.
The link from Deltab is similer to mine only differant flowers. I think mine are Poppies.
Thanks.
