Orrefors 'Wish on a Star' vase

Profile picture for user KCKatwoman

Description

This Swedish crystal piece belonged to a former mayor of the city in which I live. I suspect it might be vintage, however, I am unable to find out if that is true. The underside is etched with the company name, then G, some letter or number, and what appears to be 769.C2. The condition of the vase is great and I would love to know what it is worth. Thank you!

Re: Orrefors 'Wish on a Star' vase

This vase has been in my family since the late 1950s-early 1960s, after it was purchased as a gifr from Sweden. It's correct name is "Wish on the Moon." Replacements.com has 4 available and has lowered the asking price from $219 to $143. You can find multiple listings for it on EBay and www.ebth.com, where it's been sold for $17-$90.
