<p>[QUOTE="Pat Dennis, post: 3818472, member: 15280"]Center-left (facing the vase) looks like a western-style 1940+ house. Search eBay/Etsy and you will find pages of Nippon vases. That should give you a better idea of age and value. When you search active listings, you will see vases that were sold in dime stores (Woolworths, for one) for decades. Then, you will see the really high-priced, very well hand-decorated vases many people collected in the last half of the 20C. Now I see these coming on the market in abundance as Boomers are downsizing and estates are being sold. Yep, I 76yrs and have collected/sold and worked for antique dealers for over 50 yrs. My stuff will hit the market...Hopefully, not soon! Always remember, an item is only worth what you can sell it for and because it is old, does not mean it has high value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
