[QUOTE="RachelW, post: 9863279, member: 15376"][CENTER]Was very happy to find this vase for 2 euros today. Google lens bring up some information and some crazy prices (2020 auction estimate 5-600 usd :eek:) There is a chip which is unfortunate, but someone somewhere along the way DRILLED A HOLE to make it into a lamp :facepalm::facepalm: I have no words. However, I do appreciate the vision they had, so rather than fighting by trying to sell it with the 'damage', I think I'll keep it and put a light fixture back into it. I'll also keep a look out for a reasonably priced second one to make a lamp + vase pair. So voila, a German Westerwald salt glazed vase, marked for Girz, 1893-1900.
