[QUOTE="Melian44, post: 4384635, member: 59242"]Hello everyone! This is my second thread on this Forum and I am hoping that you will be able help me once again. :shame: I recently bought a lovely pair of cylinder-shaped green glass vases with gilding and enamelled lily of the valley at a small generalist auction for 34 euros. The auctioneer made no claims about the maker of the vases and just dated them to "early XXth century". After some research, I found that they are an exact match for vases made by Legras; however, they are not signed. In the absence of any signature/mark, I was wondering if any of you knew how to tell if the vases were originals or reproductions? Either way, I find them very pretty and will enjoy them tremendously! Here are some photos, including of the imperfections in the gilding, which isn't aligned: [ATTACH=full]368312[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]368313[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
