Hello, recently I came across 2 pieces of very old imperial glass. They are 2 plates that have imperial spelled out with a cross type design. Two letters that spell imperial are one each side. The color is amberina. One plate sits on 3 ball feet. Would you know anything about the value or where I can find out? thanks, rich
I CANNOT TELL AT ALL UNLESS I ACTUALLY HAVE PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE PIECES. GO TO E-BAY FOR PRICES ON IMPERIAL, BUT BE AWARE THEY ARE INFLATED.
