Description

this is a close up of the side, notice the weld spots where it joins together.

Close up of the bottom of the vase-notice the green color on bottom, which there are flecks of throughout the entire vase.

Close up towards the bottom of the vase where the green really mixes in with the orange color.

Just a pic of the whole vase. Needs cleaned up a bit, has a little bit of dust, but thats it-no knicks, cracks, nothing. This came from NY state when my grandparents moved down here to OK to start a dairy farm in 1949. Has been in the family ever since-I have many other great antiques that are also staying in the family.  I know my grandmother who bought this didn't skimp when it came to the finer things in life-her father was quite well off for their time. I have her wedding ring which is beautiful (ill never ever get rid of it) and was just appraised at over $1,200. Any input/opinion/info on this vase would be so much appreciated!! Thank you!!
