<p>[QUOTE="Miscstuff, post: 261879, member: 1331"]This poor old thing turned up at the auction for a second week having been passed in</p><p>with a previous guide of $100-$150 and this week with a guide of $50-$100. No one seemed to want it and my lonely absentee bid of $35 won the day. Figured there must be something wrong with it like a massive crack or chip somewhere but there's nothing apart from some fine crazing underneath and a little on the lip. It was listed as “Early 20th Century Twin Handled Japanese Export Vase” and seems to be or the Chinese fakers are at it again. At 56cm (22”) high and 3.9Kg (8.6lbs) she is a big old girl and with an “in your face” floral decoration she probably wont win décor item of the year which might explain the lack of interest. So what do you think. Export vase or fake??</p><p><br /></p><p>Cheers</p><p>Stephen</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]82044[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]82045[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]82046[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]82047[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]82048[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]82049[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]82050[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]82051[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]82052[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
