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!!
