<p>[QUOTE="vitry-le-francois, post: 122585, member: 100"]You guys are awesome! Interesting story behind this purchase. I found it at a local auction a few days ago. It was part of an antique booth dealer liquidation. It was sitting on a table with various other box lots and individual pottery items. The entire table of about 20-25 items were sold "choice" by the auctioneer. That means the high bidder would pick his/her choice of items from that table at the price, per piece they bid.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was willing to "risk" $15.00 on this vase. It still had the "antique" dealer's price tag of $39.00 on it. I thought the vase might be old but there are so many reproductions it's hard to tell anymore! I got it for $12.50.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wonder how many people who passed through that dealers' booth and looked at that vase and thought $39.00 was too expensive???[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
