My Mother inherited it from her Grandparents. She gave it to me recently and says she thinks it is a humidor. On the front of it are strips of what it appears to be masking tape. It is dried on so I decided not to remove it. I would really like to know what it is and what it is used for, it's origin and even just a rough estimate of it's value would be wonderful. Thank You!

This is an octagon shaped vase, it has "Bauer" enscribed on bottom, the color is a beige/off white with black designs, some of the designs are shaded in grey and some have 1-3 black dots on them. I would like to know more about the potter that created this, I have tried to research this vase to no avail and would like to possible know the value.

A wooden cigar box with the word Guarantee on the lid and front. The letter e swings back underling the entire word guarantee. The lid is out lined in black with a smaller outline next and then in all of the 4 corners of the lid it has a unique design which reminds me of a fleur de lis with a circle around it or some kind of flower. Inside it says "We guarantee this cigar to contain Absolutely Pure Riavana Filler, and will give $1000 for the proof to the contrary. To attest to the truth of this offer, we herewith attach our signaute. Goodman, Churchill, & Chism. The writing is pretty like how things were written when ink wells were used. The back of the box where the hinge attaches to lid has a picture of what appears to be a horse head with its main blowing back and the word Trade is in front of the head and the word Mark is after the head. Ornate tiny little metal hinges come to a point. The back has Fact No. 8, 3rd Dist. N. Y. 50 and 2 labels. One is green and runs along the edge of the box and has 50 cigar and United. Some of the label has worn off but it resembles our old dollar bill in color. There is also a white paper label which has worn quite a bit but you can still see New York on it. You can make out some words from the label. The inside had a green paper strip all the way around at one time but you can still see the words Goodman, Churchill, & Chism. A note in the box says This wood cigar box has been in use since about 1906. Unfortunatly I cannot download the pics to required size. The box is just beautiful, tight and not scratched up.
