Title: Davidsons Cloud vase
Post by: Max on March 28, 2006, 04:33:37 PM: I bought this today in a charity shop, I know nothing about cloud glass really. I was going to sell it, but it's not a wildly valuable item is it? And I think it's quite a common colour? So, if it's not worth very much, I'll keep it and use it I think.

Soooo, erm...just checking it's not worth too much to use really. :oops:

Oh, it's 10" tall btw.

Worth checking out eBay for prices.

Thanks Anne, mine vase must be quite old then. :) It looks very 'at home' in my house, which is odd because it's nothing like anything else I possess! I'm going to keep it. :D
