<p>[QUOTE=&quot;15Stiftgasse, post: 3607099, member: 12382&quot;]Many, many thanks to you all for your most generous contributions. Sorry to reply so late, but I&#039;ve been distracted with a minor crisis that has taken much of my time. It&#039;s nice to get some good news for a change ! I&#039;ve already paid for the vase, which will (hopefully!) be delivered to the house of a relative of mine, who happens to live near the seller. My wife likes the photos of the vase very much and yesterday remarked &quot;....I hope you&#039;re NOT going to sell it!&quot; in a slightly threatening tone, which further reinforces my decision to keep this one ! However, call me Mister Cynical, but as other antiquers may have experienced in the past - until you get the item in your hands and carefully examine it, the old phrase &#039; Never count your chickens....&#039; should not be forgotten.</p><p>Perhaps the fact that it was advertised as an &#039;Antique Lamp Vase&#039; put off other buyers, who immediately thought of a drilled base or side. However, the cable in this vase was fed through a hole in a brass cover plate on the top. I&#039;ve attached a pic so you can see what I mean.</p><p>Once again, thank you all very much ![ATTACH=full]307218[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
