Re: Antique Metal Jar

sadly this is most likely a new brass vase, if it is old the patina has been polished off which would severely affect value, its hard to say any more for sure without seeing any makers marks on it. You have to be careful with things labeled as antique in thrift stores as the items they receive are, in most cases, donated, so they have little or no idea of the actual age or history of the items they sell...

Re: Antique Metal Jar

After searching in the net, I strongly think it's made in India.  Can anyone give me a rough estimate of it's value? I would really appreciate it. Thanks
