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

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.

Post by: Stringofpearls on March 20, 2015, 10:30:36 AM: 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.

Post by: Anne Tique on March 20, 2015, 01:36:00 PM: I have never seen this before... and I only found one announcement in an auction catalogue, it's mentioned that the vase is signed VA, 60ies and mouth blown, but the shape's different... still doesn't ring a bell here, but then, not much does these days... maybe somebody will recognize it...
