I purchased this from a gentlman who was liquidating his father's estate. The pieces being offered were very high end from paintings to bronzes. He said his father's house was decorated in Asian style.
A gentleman was liquidating his father's estate and sold me this vase. I have the original receipt for what the father paid for it in 1979 from an Antique Store. The receipt states that it is from the Tung Chih era.
I have the Hallmark special edition Barbies. They have never been removed from the box, and the boxes have been stored in a seal tight storage container all this time. 1994 was the Victorian Elegance, 1995 was the Victorian Elegance, and 1996 was the Yuletide Romance. Just curious at what these cost now.
