Vase is black with 22 kt gold from mid part down. it does have a makers mark but i can not make out what it says. I remember seeing a vase just like this one in an Antique book that was at least 8 years old and it stated the vase was worth $400.00. Any Information about the maker and how much the value is would be greatly appreciated.

It was found in the wall of an old house being remodeled.  Don't know if its hand made or mass produced.

I have a 1918 Gorham portsmouth silverware set with 45 pieces.  These pieces are in great shape.
