Hello, can anyone help identify this vase. Thank you.
Mod: Photos removed as per board guidelines

Are you the owner of this vase it's currently for sale on ebay.
-
No, I am interested in buying it, but would like to know the maker.
Thank you.

you're not allowed to use those pics on here then, you can post a link to the auction but you can't use the owners pictures. I am sure a moderator will be along to say that shortly. Personally I never comment on running auctions

Thanks for the information. I apparently have a lot to learn. My apologies.

Hi
do post the link though
Then we can say its a very bad Chinese reproduction c2009-which someone has added a spurious Galle signature of the wrong time period. Shame the seller has said 'Antique' -its the only text that's really misrepresented.
Mind you, if you really want one -the price isn't too terrible -an original would be £10,000+
cheers

Mike, it would have been more fun if we let him buy it, Spoilsport ;)

Hello, I am so glad I did not become the brunt of a very bad joke! Here's the link:

Hi
I so pleased you did not buy it too - not only because it would be a bad move for you -and fear upon fear put you off the joys of collecting glass, but also if no one buys them -then just maybe this bad practice will fade out (not much hope there -there are other bidders and as a fake its still cheap).
To be fair its not explicitly being passed of as Galle by this seller, but there is more than just a hint of 'maybe I don't know what a great item this is - you could get a real steal from me!' in the way the signature is displayed.
very sad
but I am very glad we saved you from 'brunt-don'
Remember with Galle £400 might just buy you a 2 colour tiny example.
Cheers
Mike

Thanks for adding that the seller hasn't really done anything wrong in their auction Mike. :thup:
Even though it might not be Galle, I reckon it looks pretty good with the light behind it, as in the pics. :)

I thought the goal of this website was to help other people who collect glass. Obviously, that is not everyone's goal.
Thank you to the posters who informed me before I made a big mistake.

I do believe that was said tongue in cheek . :chky: :thup:

I think you were being teased gently. :)
