Royal Satsuma Handpainted Large Umbrella Vase 24" High x 9 inches Diameter Mint

http://reviews.ebay.com/Royal-Satsuma-Marks-and-Items-Not-The-Real-Deal_W0QQugidZ10000000004166707 Here is a link to some Marks that indicate that your piece may not be what you think it is. That said, I bought two 70's repros of Roseville at an auction a week or so ago, after the auctioneer warned that they were probably repros, and wanted them for my garage. Some fakes are used by colectors to stand in contrast to real items. http://www.rubylane.com/shops/rlreproshop/item/2007RP00031 Regretfully this is one of the more notorious fake pieces on the market. Stick umbrellas in it.. if you put it in a garage sale sell it to the neighbor who you liked least.
