Great style to this vase. The leaves have a few chips, but nothing serious. It is pretty sturdy and heavy, even though it looks delicate.

Thanks MsDow, lol. I have the same demanding response when I see some things that others have too. I am blown away by this vase every time I look at it. I am scared of it falling- even though I have it on my mantle.
Did you get this thru the Goodwill auction? Looks like one the sold. Nice
I have this same one! is it worth anything?
What a very strange but interesting vase. I like it and I understand why you do the same.
Hi you sell this piece? Thanks
Hi Luca:
No this is not for sale. Thanks for checking it out and glad you like it.
Woman34,
Can you tell me how much this vase might be worth? We have a Salvini vase and are looking for an estimate on value.
I really don't know how much it's worth. I need to have it appraised as well. Sorry I couldn't be much help.
Absolutly superb, but I know you knew this all the while.
Thanks ho2cultcha for the loveeee- haven't had any on my girl for a while:).
Thank you Bellin as always. I love this vase, too, so much. It's the thing I love the most that I own as far as possessions.
Thanks AR8Jason for the love.
Thanks so much Bellin, it my favorite piece of all that I have; Art Nouveau no doubt my favorite design period.
Thanks for all the recent love for my vase!
Thank you ho2cultcha for the love:)))).
