    It's in the truck so I have to get it out. I think it's empty but will check and report back!

    Glass isn't usually my thing, but I thought this looked nice and was re-sell-able for a small profit (paid $16). 12" / 30cm tall. Hand-made, I'm guessing in China?

    That’s a Dalian vase, known as snowflakes, seventies Chinese and becoming very collectible.

    I had a fellow at the hoodwill the other day who seemed to follow me around and pick up whatever I put back ! The last item was a 1950s Italian decanter set with just 3 glasses and lots of gold loss. When I saw him pick it up I told him "Dont bother. Its priced more than youd get" he didnt seem happy with my input . :)

    hmmmm.....I checked Lang Antiques jewelry site for your hallmark, couldn't find it. I would have a jeweler look at it. Even synthetic rubies glow under UV light. It is a beautiful piece.
