[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 240507, member: 2844"]Vintage to only just antique. These decorative vases were usually made in pairs, and they are not rare. The exact age is hard to determine, but given the fragility of the material, most of them are vintage rather than antique. The value is in artistry and condition, and a pair is worth more than 2x1. Yours, although pretty, is not at the top of the range, and it has lost its companion.
