this ribbed ming style vase is high quality , the process to make it by the pilgrim glass company involved using gold in its manufacturing.similar works of the cranberry glass line have a manufacturer sticker attached instead of stamping the bottom. i guess mine was removed.

i have researched this item , i cannot find another like it, it is adorned with old chinese coins from the 1600's (researched the markings on the coins).
I am thinking it was made as a good luck piece to bring wealth , or someone just had alot of time on their hands.

this item has baffled me for years , even as to what it is. it has raised flowers and leaves adorning both sides , the front has an engraved bird sitting on a branch and the rear is engraved with leaves also , but no bird. there is some bends in the metal , but nothing that cant be put back into place by a professional.

This is a print not an actual painting. Artist is Paul Detlefsen and titled "The Smithy". Frame is solid wood and measures 53" X 29". Frame is 3" thick. Little metal plate is attached to bottom center of frame with artist's name and picture name. The whole thing is in pristine condition. Have no idea how much it is worth.
